Move on in and Stay
Ray Price · The Honky Tonk Years (1950-1966) [Bear Family (Ger [1996]
That nifty spot inside my heart
For someone just like you
Been saving all my hugs and kisses
And hope you saved some too.
So pack your lovin' and your little old bag
And move on in today
'Cause you got all the loving that I'll ever need
So move on in and stay.
Move on in, stay a long, long time
And don't ever go away
'Cause I want you near forever dear
So move on in and stay.
--- Instrumental ---
Now I've been blue a long, long time
If you moved in I'd change
Been looking for someone just like you
I've already got the ring.
I'll hold you tight and love you right
And honey, I couldn't stray
'Cause you got all the lovin' that I'll ever need
So move on in to stay.
Move on in, stay a long, long time
And don't ever go away
'Cause I want you near forever dear
So move on in and stay.
--- Instrumental ---
Move on in, stay a long, long time
And don't ever go away
'Cause I want you near forever dear
So move on in and stay...
