You've gotta go Barbie doll castles are closing down
You're off to the show And I'd never tell you to turn around now
Remember your coat, I Remember the winter that you came around
Before you hit the road Why don't you dance with me now'
Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long
All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone
So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away
Why don't you stay'
Don't draw the shades Let the king lie in the setting sun
I've got so much to say now It's funny the days when the courage comes
Before you fly away Know it goes on, everything you've begun
The band is still playing Why don't we wait till they're done'
Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long
All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone
So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away
Why don't you stay'
Instrumental
One more for the road Some soldiers won't die 'til the light of day
And drinking alone, is For only the loneliest anyway
So here's to the ghosts And here's to the games that we lost and we loved
We come and we go But a lifetime is never enough
Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long
All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone
So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away
Why don't you stay'
