wish i could keep you much longer

i know you gotta go cuz you got things to do

wish i could keep you much longer

now you to busy for me girl like i was to you

wish i could stop by

and maybe say “hi”

wish i could jus stop by

and lay by your side

wish i could stop by

and maybe say “hi”

wish i could jus stop by

and lay by your side

the tables have turned

and i’ve finally learned

that this is makin up for every day i was gone

and that’s why i’m concerned

but now it’s confirmed

that you spread your wings and learned to fly all alone

darkness in the night

i’ll find that light for you

as long as i got eyes

i’ll have a sight for you

long as i am alive baby i’d die for you

i wanna be with you

wish i could keep you much longer

i know you gotta go cuz you got things to do

wish i could keep you much longer

now you to busy for me girl like i was to you

wish i could stop by

and maybe say “hi”

wish i could jus stop by

and lay by your side

wish i could stop by

and maybe say “hi”

wish i could jus stop by

and lay by your side

while i’m racin

while i’m paper chasin

you were there when i said one day i’d get up out that basement

playin as my agent

for you, there’s no replacement

you will always be my girl

and you can hold me on that statement

darkness in the night

i’ll find that light for you

as long as i got eyes

i’ll have a sight for you

long as i am alive baby i’d die for you

wanna be with you

wish i could keep you much longer

i know you gotta go cuz you got things to do

wish i could keep you much longer

and i know i gotta just take it
