| Comments: | "Stay"
is the second or third song Bryan Adams and I ever wrote, probably in January
or February 1978. Quite simply, it was a verse of Bryan's combined with
a chorus of mine ... and "presto" - we had a song. Bryan recorded an excellent version of "Stay" for his first album -- it even had a beautiful string quartet arranged by Eric Robertson -- but for reasons that remain vague to this day, Bryan decided to leave the song off his album. Several years later we offered "Stay" to my old group "Prism", who recorded it for their "Small Change" album. A French version of the song (titled "Tu N'as Pas Changé") was also recorded by Quebec recording artist Peter Pringle. |

| Lyrics: | Feelings
come and feelings go away It happens everyday We let it slip away We could say goodnight or work it out some way Or find the words to say You don't have to stay You don't have to stay forever You don't have to stay at all You won't have to wait a lifetime You don't have to stay So many times we tried to break away But we were so afraid We dreamed of yesterday And of all the times you made me feel this way You found the words to say You don't have to stay You don't have to stay forever You don't have to stay at all You won't have to wait a lifetime You don't have to stay (solo) You don't have to stay forever You don't have to stay at all You won't have to wait a lifetime You don't have to stay |
