Billy, won't you [B] stay with me all night? _
[A] Talking about [Bm] flowers from [A] 65 That print on that [B] dress [F#m] that you [B] always liked
We were [A] young enough to [D] go out and [A] dance at night _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
We'd cross the [E] street [F#m] and you'd hold [E] my hand
[A] Same man [Em] now [F#m] that you [A] were back then
Young kids, [E] good for [F#m] nothing, but [C#m] how [A] hoping?
[D] Broken, starving, plastic ring, [A] perfect for eloping
The _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
years went by [B] fast, you were so good to me
[A] Our children [B] have children, [A] Billy, how could it be?
But 90 years [Em] is nothing to [F#m] some kids [B] like us
[A] [D] So baby stick around, I'll tell [A] a story just because
[E] Billy, stay _ [A] a while _ _
[E] Lately [D] you've been slipping in [A] and out
[E] Billy, _ stay a [A] child
Tell [E] [D] me about that girl you dreamed [A] about _
[E] Billy, stay _ a [A] while _ _
[E] Tell [D] me of the lovers who [A] once were _
Billy, [E] _ stay [A] a child _
[E] Tell [D] me about that girl and how [A] you loved her _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ [Em] _ _
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ Billy, _ don't forget, [B] won't [F#m] you [D] keep on trying?
I'll keep my ears open [A] to keep from crying
You're more handsome [E] now [F#m] than you were [D] back then
And I'm the same girl you fell for when [A] we were kids
If _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
love was [E] enough [D] then you'd stay [B] forever
[A] But I guess [D] sometimes that the [A] end is better
Cause love turns to [B] loss [F#m] as the [B] time [Em] goes by
You [D] don't know your own [A] name, but you know mine
[E] Billy, stay _ a [A] while _ _
[E] [D] Lately you've been slipping in [A] and out _ _
[E] Billy, stay _ [A] a child
[E] Tell [D] me about that girl you dreamed [A] about _ _
[E] Billy, stay _ [A] a while
Tell [E] [D] me of the [A] lovers who once were _ _
[E] Billy, _ stay [A] a child _
[E] Tell [D] me about that girl and how [A] you loved her
And [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ [F#m] _ [A] _ _ _
you went [Em] back home [F#m] in your sleep [B] last night
And [A] I heard [D] you whisper [A] I love you goodbye _
But maybe [E] your hair [F#m] ends [B] 1965
[Em] With [A] my hair in your face on a long summer drive
To me you'll [Em] never [A] be the times [E] you forgot
[A] But all of our [F#m] good times in the [A] flowers you [D] bought
