I Stayed Long Enough Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
(Tammy Wynette)
Accident'ly in your arms and that's all it took
Knowing how you want and need me with just one look
To leave you now is something you should know that I can't do
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you.
Long enough to know that what I feel won't go away
Just lookin' won't be near enough after today
Everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you.
--- Instrumental ---
Yes, everything I need is everything I see in you
I stayed long enough to fall in love with you.
I stayed just long enough to fall in love with you...
