Billy won't you stay
You've been up all night
Talking 'bout flowers from '65
That print on that dress
That you always liked
We were young enough
To go out and dance at night

We'd cross the street
And you'd hold my hand
Same man now
That you were back then
Young kids, good for nothing
But high hoping
Broken, starving plastic ring
Perfect for eloping

Years went by fast
You were so good to me
Our children have children
Billy, how could it be
But 90 years is nothing
To some kids like us
So baby stick around
And tell a story just because

Billy stay a while
Lately you've been slipping in and out
Billy stay a child
Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
Billy stay a while
Tell me of the lovers who once were
Billy stay a child
Tell me bout' that girl and how you loved her

Billy don't forget
Won't you keep on trying
I'll keep my ears open
To keep from crying
You're more handsome now
Than you were back then
And I'm the same girl you fell for
When we were kids

If love was enough
Then you'd stay forever
But I guess sometimes
That the end is better
'Cause love turns to loss
As the time goes by
You don't know your own name
But you know mine

Billy stay a while
Lately you've been slipping in and out
Billy stay a child
Tell me 'bout that girl you dreamed about
Billy stay a while
Tell of the lovers who once were
Billy stay a child
Tell me 'bout that girl and how you loved her

And you went back home
In your sleep last night
And I heard you whisper
"I love you goodbye"
But maybe your Heaven's 1965
With my hair in your face
On a long summer drive
To me you'll never be
The times you forgot
But all of our good times
And flowers you bought
