"Don't Go, Please Stay" by Aaron Neville

(Burt Bacharach, Bob Hilliard) 

Don't go, please stay 
Don't go, please stay 

If I got on my knees and pleaded with you 
Not to go, but to stay in my heart 
Would you walk out the door 
Like you did once before 
But this time be different and please stay 
Don't go, please stay 
Don't go 

If I call out your name like a prayer 
Would you leave me alone with my tears 
Knowing I, I need you so 
Would you still turn and go 
But this time be different in some way 
Don't go, please stay 
Don't go, please stay 

You took me away from the rest of the world 
When you taught me to love you like this 
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom 
But I still can be saved by your kiss 

If I call out your name like a prayer 
Would you leave me alone with my tears 
Knowing I, I need you so 
Would you still turn and go 
But this time be different and please stay 
Don't go, please stay 
Don't go, please stay 
Don't go, please stay
