(Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick)

Long time since I've seen your smile

But when I close my eyes

I remember

You were no more than a child

But then so was I

Young and tender



Time carries on

I guess it always will

But deep inside my heart

Time stands still



[Chorus:]

Stay for awhile

Well it's good to see Your smile

And I love your company

Stay for awhile

And remember the days gone by

For a moment it can seem

Just the way it used to be



Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts

Clear summer days

Warm and lazy

Long walks, long talks, after dark

We vowed we'd never forget

Now it's hazy



Time takes its toll

And time alters our view

It would be nice to

Spend some time with you



[Chorus]
