Happy times, like pens and dimes They slip away, you turn around They're gone one day, but I'll stay Empty words, like winter birds They leave the nest, they join the rest Then fly away, but I'll stay I'll be there in the morning When you wake up, I'll be by your side I'll be there in the evening With your soul in mine I'll be there in the morning From the moment you begin to rise I'll be there in the evening Keep you satisfied satisfied Fairweather friends, like tempest winds They roll along, they sing their songs Then blow away, but I'll stay I'll be there in the morning When you wake up, I'll be by your side I'll be there in the evening With your soul in mine I'll be there in the morning From the moment you begin to rise I'll be there in the evening Keep you satisfied satisfied. One by one, they'll all be gone But every day and in every way And for always, I'll stay Feelings worn like pages torn And near the end the ink begins To fade away, but I'll stay I'll stay
