Ask Her to Stay

[Intro]
Saw her laughing in the sunlight, caught my breath, I froze in time
Heard her calling out so softly, feeling like this could be mine

[Verse 1]
She’s got that smile that lights my darkest day
Her eyes, a gentle spark that guides my way
Every word she says, a melody so sweet
But I get tongue-tied, stumbling on my feet

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Cassie, everything I dream of
Thoughts of you are always enough
But the words escape, I can’t explain
Will I find the courage, break this chain?

[Chorus]
Cassie, could you be my girl?
Take a chance, let's run away from this world
I’m scared to ask, but I believe in us
Say yes, make my heart erupt with love
Cassie, hear my silent plea
Won't you be the one for me?
Even if my voice shakes and fails at first
Deep inside, I hope it’s worth the worst

[Bridge]
Maybe tonight’s the night I find my way
Face the fear, show what I feel, don’t walk away
Your kindness, your laughter, it’s all I see
A future where you’re standing next to me

[Outro]
So here I stand, heart on my sleeve
Hoping for the day, you’ll believe
Cassie, I’m falling, don’t let me down
Say yes and spin me all around
