I Don’t Want To Go

Lyrics: Stanley Péan / Music: Lucie Roy

As you can tell by those tears in my eyes
I’ve never been fond of goodbyes
I’ve had my share of sad farewells
But I can hear the toll of distant bells

As you can tell by the look on my face
I’d rather not leave your embrace
I’ve had my fill of brisk twilights
And I’d much prefer missing that last flight

Still, I don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go
There’s still so many sights for me to see
Still so many midnight strolls by the sea
I don’t wanna go, please don’t make me go

I’m through with bad surprises and shadows
I hunger for sunrises and rainbows
This world may not be much, I agree
But it’s the best that can ever be

Please, don’t let me go

As you can tell by now, as you can bet
I’m not ready to leave, not yet
I have so many things to say
And if I can have my way, I’d rather stay

‘Cause I don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go
There’s still so many sights for me to see
Still so many midnight strolls by the sea
I don’t wanna go, please don’t make me go
