if you stay a while i promise i ll find a happy song to sing it s dark but i can see in the dark and your e smiling no don t go yet don t be upset it s a sweet evening and we ll go inside and light a fire and have a laugh and have a cry it s the little things that add up to life ten thousand moments of paradise lost between the big dreams and the headlines i can t help you quit the blues the lonely and the heartache and the bad bad news and you ve still got to pay the rent and all those years and where they went i don t care where you ve been how you made your enemies and lost your friends why d you miss those lucky breaks and how everything is just a big mistake you ve come all this way i know it s hard but won t you stay all i can promise you is that tomorrow is a brand new day ten thousand moments of paradise lost between the big dreams and the headlines if you stay a while i promise i ll find a happy song to sing it s dark but i can see in the dark and your e smiling no don t go yet don t be upset it s a sweet evening and we ll go inside and light a fire and have a laugh and have a cry it s the little things that add up to life
