[Verse 1]
A# Gm
They met at school, that's how it goes
Eb
Some drinks and then a rose
F
Then plans to meet again
A# Gm
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose
Eb
She knew that he'd propose
F
She only wondered when
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm A#
One night before they went to bed
Eb
He kneeled on both knees
F
And this is what he said:
[Chorus]
A# Eb F
I may not be wise
Gm F Eb
And I won't save the day
A# Eb F
But look in my eyes
Gm F Eb
And know I'll always stay
Ebm A#
And I won't run away
Ebm A# F/A Gm F Eb A#/D F
I won't run away
[Verse 2]
A# Gm
Some years went by they had a child
Eb
He was funny, strange, and mild
F
Their love for him ran deep
A# Gm
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild
Eb F
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm A#
One night he couldn't get to bed
Eb
So she kneeled on both knees
F
And this is what she said:
[Chorus]
A# Eb F
I may not be wise

And I won't save the day

But look in my eyes

You say it's safer on your own
Eb
You'd rather sleep alone
F
Then grow to need me there
A# Gm
But I hope now you can see
Eb
What my mom and dad showed me
F
I'm not going anywhere
[Pre-Chorus]

I love you more and more each day
Eb
To love is not to leave
F
So hear me when I say:
[Chorus]
A# Eb F
I may not be wise
Gm F Eb
But I won't save the day

But look in my eyes

And know I'll always stay
