Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

Sing the opening verse

For a while there it was rough
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month

i'vestaythings
