Lyrics Don't Stay Too Long - Ernest Tubb

Don't Stay Too Long

Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too lonesome
Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too blue
When you’re away I’m so downhearted
Don’t stay too long 'cause I love you
When you are here I’m so contented
Each minute is a joy for me
But when you go my heart starts crying
My darling won’t you heed my plea
Oh Billy Bird now
Your letters come but still I’m lonely
'Cause letters can’t erase my tears
In dreams I have my arms around you
The days and nights now seem like years
I’ll walk the floor and think about you
I just can’t find a thing to do
But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure
I can’t get by if I can’t have you
Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too lonesome
Don’t stay too long 'cause I’m too blue
When you’re away I’m so downhearted
Don’t stay too long 'cause I love you
