[Intro]

A
 
[Verse]

A
Billy won't you stay
A
We've been up all night
D
Talking 'bout flowers from '65
A
The prince on that dress
A
You always liked
D
We were young enough
D
To go out and dance at night
 
[Break]

A A D D
 
[Verse]
A
We'd cross the street
A
And you'd hold my hand
D
Same man now
D
That you were back then
A
Young kids good for nothing
A
But high hoping
D
Broken, starving plastic ring
D
Perfect for eloping
 
[Break]

A A D D
 
[Verse]

A
Years went by fast
A
You were so good to me
D
Our children have children
D
Billy, how could it be
A
But 90 years is nothing
A
To some kids like us
D
So baby stick around
D
And tell a story just because
 
 
[Chorus]

       E       A
Billy stay a while
 E                  D     
Lately you've been slipping 
       A
in and out
       E       A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D 
Tell me 'bout that girl 
               A
you dreamed about
       E       A
Billy stay a while
 E              D    
Tell me of the lovers 
     A
who once were
       E       A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D   
Tell me bout' that girl 
               A 
and how you loved her
 
[Break]

A A D D
 
[Verse]

A
Billy don't forget
A
Won't you keep on tryin'
D
I'll keep my ears open
D
To keep from crying
A
You're more handsome now
A
Than you were back then
D
And I'm the same girl you fell for
D
When we were kids
 
[Break]

A A D D
 
[Verse]

A
If love was enough
A
Then you'd stay forever
D
But I guess sometimes
D
That the end is better
A
Cause love turns to loss
A
As the time goes by
D
You don't know your own name
D
But you know mine
 
 
[Chorus]

       E       A
Billy stay a while
 E                  D      
Lately you've been slipping 
       A
in and out
       E       A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D     
Tell me 'bout that girl 
               A
you dreamed about
       E       A
Billy stay a while
 E              D    
Tell me of the lovers 
     A
who once were
       E       A
Billy stay a child
 E                  D  
Tell me bout' that girl 
               A
and how you loved her

[Verse]

A
And you went back home
A
In your sleep last night
D
And I hear you whisper
D
"I love you goodbye"
A
But maybe your Heaven's 1965
D
With my hair in your face
D
On a long summer drive
   A
To me you'll never be
A
The times you forgot
     D
But all of our good times
D
And flowers you bought
