REASONS ( Archived) (8)

THERE WAS A TIME NOTHING WAS GOING MY WAY
I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE ANY DAY
MY BAGS WERE PACKED IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM
I LOOKED AT MY FUTURE I HAD TO GO SOON
GETTING NO YOUNGER WITH MY TIME SLIPPING PAST
I NEEDED A CHANGE OOH HOW I NEEDED IT BAD
THERE WAS NO REASON NO REASON TO STAY

I THOUGHT I'D FOUND SOMETHING I GUESS I WAS WRONG
I STARTED TO FEEL LIKE I JUST DIDN'T BELONG
THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK RACED ROUND THE DIAL
AND LIVING IN MISERY WAS NEVER MY STYLE
I WISHED I COULD FLY WITH THE BIRDS GOING SOUTH
WHAT WAS THAT STRANGE TASTE IN MY MOUTH
I HAD NO REASON NO REASON TO STAY

BUT JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THAT THE TIME WAS RIGHT FOR ME TO GO
WHAT DID I KNOW
YOU CAME ALONG AND CHANGED MY MIND

OOH YOU GAVE ME REASON GAVE ME REASON TO STAY
YEAH YOU GAVE ME REASON GAVE ME REASON TO STAY
NOW I HAD A REASON TO STAY


RIGHT FROM THE TIME YOU CAME ON TO THE SCENE
LIFE WAS A STRUGGLE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
PEOPLE STARTED TELLING WHAT I HAD TO DO
BUT ONLY ONE THING MATTERED AND THAT ONE THING WAS YOU
BEFORE YOU CAME ALONG LIFE WAS PASSING ME BY
SEEMED THAT EVERY DAY I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES
AND I NEVER HAD A REASON TO STAY

NOW I HAVE A PURPOSE I'LL DO MY BEST
I'LL TEACH YOU ALL I CAN BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO DO THE REST
IT'S A BIG BAD WORLD AND YOU'LL HAVE CHOICES TO MAKE
ABOUT WHAT'S RIGHT AND WRONG AND WHAT ROAD YOU'RE GONNA TAKE
I'M GETTING NO YOUNGER AND MY TIME'S SLIPPING PAST
AND EVERY DAY I LOOK AT YOU YOU'RE GROWING UP FAST
AND YOU ARE MY REASON MY REASON TO STAY

COS JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THAT THE TIME WAS RIGHT FOR ME TO GO
WHAT DID I KNOW
YOU CAME ALONG AND CHANGED MY MIND
NOW WHEN I LOOK AT YOU I SEE THE INNOCENCE
AND I SEE SENSE
WHAT WOULD BE THE SENSE IN LEAVING YOU
SWEET CHILD OF MINE YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU SO
I'LL NEVER GO
I'LL NEVER LEAVE BEFORE MY TIME


Reason to stay From my C.D. 'With a little help from my friend'

Any one else got special reasons for

staying where they don't really want to stay

Excellent.......

Thank you

I have my mom to watch out for.... that's the reason I stay...My dad and brother have passed away, I am the only one left besides my mom.... who would care for her if I left. Sometimes I feel selfish for wanting to leave.. make my own life... but this isn't me , I will stay tell the end... my end or hers....
