THE GIRL IS GONNA STAY
Dana Countryman

I put her suitcase in my car,
as she says her goodbyes
Her dad is waving silently,
her mama softly cries
And she lays her head upon my shoulder,
as we drive away
I guess this time the girl is gonna stay

So many times she told me
she could never settle down
So many times I hoped and prayed,
she’d fin’lly come around
Now it feels so good to know
she’s really movin’ in today
I guess this time the girl is gonna stay

Yes, she’s gonna stay now,
And I will hold her close to me
Ev’ry single day now,
and in my arms is where
this girl is s’posed to be

I guess this time the girl is gonna stay

Yes, she’s gonna stay now,
And I will hold her close to me
Ev’ry single day now,
and in my arms is where
this girl is s’posed to be

She fills the room with flowers
and she showers me with love
And ev’ry night, I stop to thank
my lucky stars above
And throughout the years,
she’ll be right here until my dyin’ day
She told me so,
That’s how I know she’ll stay,
and yes, this time the girl is gonna stay

about

Dana Countryman Seattle, Washington

This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.

This is a pitch perfect cover album (along with Here Comes the Reign Again). I'm hoping for a pseudo 90's cover collection next. Seriously, I listen to a lot of covers, and this is great. Great artists, great song choices, great renditions. Great! reaperzer0
