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
