Baby* stay with me
just linger here for a while

Maybe
we’ll be together
forever
with a smile

On your face I see
eternity coming to beguile
Me
as if
I’m walking with you
down the aisle

Tell me
how this Payne’s Gray of yours
struck me in the eye

So wonderful
lately I’m in a state of daze
and my face just can deny

Like a bunch of rose petals
falling down from the sky
Straight to the bedlike-cobwebs
where you and I
lie

The strands
of my hair
are filled with your
Payne’s Gray

Let’s watch the moonlight
as it touches the day

Don’t ask why
just sit beside me

come what may

Come what may
your Payne’s Gray

Sleep with me for the night is through
and the day is coming

Loosen your tight
forget about the world
and just think of nothing

Empty your sight
like you don’t want to see
what tomorrow may bring

The daylight-stricken strands of my hair
with your Payne’s Gray shining
