"I've Already Stayed Too Long" lyrics

"I've Already Stayed Too Long"

Let me feel your gentle fingers
Runnin' through my hair again
Help me to memorize the way your body feels
And the fragrance of your skin.

Like I said when I first met you
I have to live from day to day
Guess I was born to keep on movin'
You're just a stop along the way.

I know how well we fit together
Like words and music to a song
When I start wishin' I was stayin'
Mamma, I've already stayed too long.

Let me feel your gentle fingers
Runnin' through my hair again
Help me to memorize the way your body feels
And the fragrance of your skin.

While you're lyin' here beside me
So soft and warm to my touch
It makes it hard to think of leavin'
But it just wasn't meant for us.

You watch the sunrise in the mornin'
And I'll be leavin' with the dawn
But when I start wonderin' if you'll miss me
Mamma, I've already stayed too long.

Mamma, I've already stayed too long...
