Smitty West - Why Do You Stay

Why Do You Stay?
2006

I remember way back when, when I stood out from other men
and somehow caught your pretty sparklin eye.
Well youre still lookin mighty good,
and I know that I really should
Show a little lovin in reply.

Why do you stay?
Where would you go?
How can you be so true?
When will I know
What I should do, and
Who I can be for you?

I know I promised Id be true. Roses red and violets blue
I sure forgot the rest of that rhyme.
Now flowers stand down in the store. I dont tip my hat or hold the door.
But you still are an angel all the time.

Finally one long sober night I hit my head. I saw the light.
I see I gotta thank my lucky star.
Ill listen, try to understand, look in your eyes, and hold your hand
And treat you like the treasure that you are.
