Why I can't stay
By Caitlyn Callery
When I am with you, then we have sunshine,
We both know it's true, we have the sunshine,
It's all the reason I want to stay.
Endlessly summer, blue skies above me,
Eyes that are smiling tell me you love me,
They are the reasons I go away.
All you are to me means I can't stay.
Chorus
I will leave on the ship that waits in the Bay.
Please don't cry, for you know I must go away.
Give me all your love, in my heart it will stay,
I'll return it to you when I come home one day.
Storm winds come howling, stealing the sunshine,
Thunder is growling, threatens the sunshine.
Paradise taken, bound up in chains.
The dark is coming, it pulls us right down.
Hurricanes push, we collapse to the ground.
If I don't leave you, you will feel pain,
To save the sunshine, I face the rain.
Chorus
I will leave on the ship that waits in the Bay.
Please don't cry, for you know I must go away.
Give me all your love, in my heart it will stay,
I'll return it to you when I come home one day.
(Musical interlude)
Chorus
I will leave on the ship that waits in the Bay.
Please don't cry, for you know I must go away.
Give me all your love, in my heart it will stay,
I'll return it to you when I come home one day.
You stand in the sunshine, I'll be in the rain,
And dream of the day that I'll be here again.
Send your love with me, as I sail my pain
To the far horizon and then home again.
Send your love with me as I sail away,
Your love is the reason, why I can't stay.
