Will You Stay?

What if it gets too hard;
To stay around when things get tough?
What if I'm not perfect;
Will you stay or run away?

Would you find it worth it,
The beauty and the pain?
Would you find me worth it,
The heartache and the gain?

Will my love keep you here,
Close to my side,
Deep inside my heart?
Will you stay?

When the darkness closes in,
Will you be my light?
Will you pull me through
When I'm drowning, out of sight?

Can you see the beauty
When the pain is overwhelming?
Can you keep on loving
When loving is too hard?

Will you stay?

They say nothing easy
Is ever worth the while.
Well, if that's so then
Our love is everlasting.

I won't promise roses
Or fireworks everyday
But I promise you my love
Will always find a way.

I know things will get tough.
Problems always find a way.
But what I need to know is
Will you always stay?
