Glad You Came To Stay

from Cat With A Spider by Guy Johnson

/

about

I don’t often write happy love songs, but this is an exception. I wrote it about four years ago and it recalls the chance meeting in Bath of a beautiful girl, who was to become my wife and mother of our five children.

lyrics

I’M GLAD YOU CAME TO STAY
WORDS & MUSIC GUY JOHNSON

WHERE WERE YOU GOING
THE NIGHT YOU CAME MY WAY
WHAT KIND OF MAGIC
WAS SPRINKLED ON THE DAY
I DON’T REMEMBER
THE THINGS WE HAD TO SAY
I ONLY KNOW THAT
I’M MIGHTY GLAD YOU CAME TO STAY

UNTIL THAT MOMENT
I LIVED IN BLACK AND WHITE
WITH NO DIRECTION
LOST AND OUT OF SIGHT
YOU BOWLED ME OVER
AND HELPED ME FIND A WAY
AND NOW I KNOW THAT I’M
MIGHTY GLAD YOU CAME TO STAY

ON THING’S FOR CERTAIN
YOU LEFT ME WANTING MORE
I STILL REMEMBER THE WAY YOU MADE ME FEEL
YOU PICKED ME UP AND YOU OPENED UP THE DOOR
ONE LOOK IN YOUR EYES I KNEW FOR SURE

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER NIGHT ANOTHER YEAR
A ROLLER COASTER RIDE WE COULDN’T SEEM TO STEER
THROUGH ALL THE THICK AND THIN IT ALL BEGAN TO CLEAR
THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR

WE SPEND OUR LIVES LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER
WE ALWAYS HOPED WE’D KNOW
AND WHEN YOU FINALLY CAME OUT FROM YOUR COVER
LITTLE DID WE KNOW HOW FAR WE’D GO

I STILL REMEMBER THE WAY YOU MADE ME FEEL
ONE LOOK IN YOUR EYES I KNEW FOR REAL
