Here I'll Stay

from Here I'll Stay by Justin Hayford

/

lyrics

If I've no will to go from home
And have no urge the seas to roam
And turn my back on a distant star
And never burn to wander far
It's not because of fear
It's because my goal is clear

There's a far land I'm told
Where I'll find a field of gold
But here I'll stay with you.

And they say there's an isle deep with clover
Where your heart wears a smile all day through
But I know, well, they're wrong
And I know where I belong
Here I'll stay with you

For that land is a sandy illusion
It's the theme of a dream gone astray

And the world others woo
I can find loving you
And so here I'll stay

Kurt Weill, Alan Jay Lerner
