Lyrics

Stay the Wind
Copyright Paul Jarvis and Mike Strickland
Verse 1:
You held on tight to the stem in your hand
Dandelion parachutes awaited your command
With a puff they were off drifting away
And I knew that you would to someday

Verse 2:
You?d held on tight to the string in your hands
As we flew a kite and laughed watched while it danced
Ever farther away ever higher it rose
And I wondered if I ever could let go

Chorus:
?Cause when you look at me
Sometimes I still see
That little one I carried up to bed
Now your sails are full
And soon you?ll go
But tonight, tonight I wish instead
I could Stay the Wind

Verse 3:
Now I hold on tight to everything
your blanket, your pictures, even that ball of string
?Cause proud as I am of all you?ve done
It kind of seemed to me we?d just begun

Chorus:
?Cause when you look at me
Sometimes I still see
The little one I carried up to bed
Now your sails are full
And I know you?ve got to go
But tonight, tonight I wish instead
I could Stay the Wind

Bridge:
If a storm should blow
And if you should lose your way
I?m right here for you, come what may

Chorus:
?Cause when you look at me
Sometimes I still see
The little one I carried up to bed
Now your sails are full
And I know you?ve got to go
But tonight, tonight I wish instead
I could Stay the Wind
