31 Days of Reflection - Day 6

Today's Musical Reflection is:  Stay For Awhile by Amy Grant
I've always loved this song even though it often brings tears to my eyes. Below are the lyrics:

The Video shows a "couple" and I'm sure the song is probably about broken relationships but to me I feel something different.  I think it's about "lost" relationships and remembering those who've passed on before us.  I'd love to just be able to "freeze" time and remember my family/friends just the way they were.  I think that's what memories are for and like the song says, "When I close my eyes, I remember."

Enjoy.

Long time since I've seen your smile,

But when I close my eyes,
I remember

You were no more than a child,
But then so was I,
Young and tender.

Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.

Stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed we'd never forget.
Now it's hazy.

Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.

Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Stay....
(Please stay.)
Stay, stay, stay....
One, two, one, two.

Stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.

Stay for awhile.
Oh, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Won't you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
