- - verse 1: You've gotta go Barbie doll castles are closing down ( You're off to the show And I'd never tell you to turn around now ( Remember your coat, I Remember the winter that you came around ( Before you hit the road Why don't you dance with me now' Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away Why don't you stay' verse 2: Don't draw the shades Let the king lie in the setting sun ( I've got so much to say now It's funny the days when the courage comes ( Before you fly away Know it goes on, everything you've begun ( The band is still playing Why don't we wait till they're done' Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away Why don't you stay' Instrumental verse 3: One more for the road Some soldiers won't die 'til the light of day ( And drinking alone, is For only the loneliest anyway ( So here's to the ghosts And here's to the games that we lost and we loved ( We come and we go But a lifetime is never enough Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away Why don't you stay'
