Gaye

Won't you let me have a say

In the way you behave

I won't last another day

If you decide to go away.



You're the tray of nice things

I upset yesterday

The display of bright rings

I let slip away.



Oh Gaye

You allay my every fear

In a most extraordinary way

If I thought that I could find my way without you

I would not ask you to stay.



INSTRUMENTAL



You're the tray of nice things

I upset yesterday

The mainstay of my dreams

That I let slip away.



Gaye

Won't you let me have a say

In the way you behave

I won't last another day

If you decide to go away.



Don't go away

Oh please stay

Don't go away

Please stay.
