[A] Oh,
[D] Billy,
[A]
[D]
[A] won't you stay?
You've been up all night
[D] Talking about flowers from 65
[A] The prints on that dress that you always liked
You [D] were young enough to go out and dance at night
[A]
[D]
[A] We'd cross the street and you'd hold my hand
[D] Same man now that you were back then
[A] Young kid is good for nothing but high-hoping
[D] Broken star and plastic ring, perfect for eloping
[A]
[D]
[A] Years went by fast, you were so good to me
[D] Our children have children, Billy, how could it be?
[A] But 90 years is nothing to some kids like us
[D] So baby, stick around and tell a story just because
[E] Billy, stay
[A]
[E] Lately [D]
you've been slipping [A] in and out
[E] Billy, stay
[A] Child
[E] Tell me about [D] that girl you're dreaming [A]
about
[E] Billy, stay [A] awhile
[E] Tell me [D] of the lovers [A] who once were
[E] Billy, stay
[A] Child
[E] Tell me [D] about that girl and how you [A] loved her
[D]
[A]
[D]
Billy, don't forget, won't you keep on trying?
[D] How keen thy eyes are, pains that keep from crying
[A] You're more handsome now than you were back then
[D] You're not the same girl you dreamed about when we were kids
[A]
[A] If love wasn't enough, then you'd stay forever
[D] But I guess sometimes at the end is better
[A] Cause love turns to loss as the time goes by
[D] You don't know your own name, but you know mine
[E] Billy, stay [A]
awhile
[E] Lately [D] you've been slipping in and [A] out
[E] Billy, stay
[A] Child
[E] Tell me [D] about that girl you're dreaming about
[E] Billy, stay [A] awhile
Tell [E] me [D] of the lovers who [A] once were Billy, [E] stay
[A] Child
Tell me [D] about that girl and how you [A] loved her

[A] You went back home in your sleepless night
[D] And I heard you whisper, I love you, goodbye
[A]
I bet your hair ends 1965
With [D] my hair in your face on a long summer drive
[A] To me you'll never be the times you forgot
[D] All of the good times [F#] and the flowers you bought
[D] Billy,
[A]
