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 wearing out my welcome
At the risk of self-discovery
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 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 wearing out my welcome
At the risk of self-discovery
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
Every minute
