I am long on staying
I am slow to leave
Especially when it comes
to you my friend
You have taught me slow down
And to prop up my feet
It's the fine art of being who I am
And I can't figure out
Why you want me around
I'm not the smartest person I
have ever met
But somehow that doesn't matter
No it never really mattered
to you at all
And at the risk of wear
ing out my welcome
At the risk of self-discovery
I'll I'll take every moment
And every minute that you'll give me
And I can think of time when
families all lived together
Four generations in
one house
And the table was full of good food
And friends and neighbors
That's not how we like
it now
Cause if you sit at home
you're a loser
Couldn't you find anything
better to do
Well no I couldn't think of one thing
I would rather waste my time on
than sitting here with you
And at the risk of wearing
out my welcome
At the risk of self-discovery
I'll I'll take every moment
And every minute that you'll give me
And I wish all the people I love the most
Could gather in one place
And know each other and love
each other well
And I wish we could all go camping
And lay beneath the stars
And have nothing to do
and stories to tell
We'd sit around the campfire
And we'd make each other laugh
remembering when
You're the first one I'm inviting
Always know that you're
my friend
And at the risk of wear
ing out my welcome
At the risk of self-discovery
I'll I'll take every moment
And every minute that
you'll give me
Every moment and every
minute that you'll give me
Every moment and every minute
that you'll give me
