Lyrics

[Chorus]

Like a cold glass of water in the desert sun

Like a wild, raging river, to your arms, I run

We can make it in this world, but I gotta keep you close

Baby, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

[Verse 1]

Please don't go, Caroline

'Cause I'm afraid I'm close to giving up this time

You really know me, Caroline

You give me strength when I feel like mine's left behind

[PreChorus]

You keep me moving when I think I can't

Yeah, you keep my feet up when they're dragging in the sand

[Chorus]

Like a cold glass of water in the desert sun

Like a wild, raging river, to your arms, I run

I can make it in this world, just gotta keep you close

Darling, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

Darling, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

[Verse 2]

Please don't go, Caroline

You give me faith when I feel like I'm left behind

You really know me, Caroline

You're the reason I'm still standing here tonight

You keep me groovin', when I think I can't

You keep my feet up when they're sinking in the sand

[Chorus]

Like a cold glass of water in the desert sun

Like a wild, raging river, to your arms, I run

I can make it in this world, but I got to keep you close

Baby, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

Yeah honey, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

[Bridge]

C'mon, stay with me

Roll with me

Stay with me

'Cause every time I think about tomorrow I pray

[Chorus]

Like a cold glass of water in the desert sun

Like a wild, raging river, to your arms, I run

I can make it in this world, just gotta keep you close

Baby, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

Please don't go

Please don't go

[Outro]

Stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

Please don't go

Like a wild, raging river, to your arms, I run

I can make it in this world, but I'll keep you close

But darling stay with me, stay with me, please don't go

Honey, stay with me, stay with me, please don't go
