[Intro] (La la la...) Can you hear my little song? (La la la...) Will you stay when the night feels long? Inside this little box of dreams... I kept a place for you and me... [Verse 1] Tears are falling on the wooden floor From the little room behind the door I painted smiles across my face But every shadow knows my pain The dolls are waiting, holding hands Lost in a world nobody understands Every goodbye I tried to erase Every memory still calls your name I don't wanna wake up from this dream Where everything is what it seems Even broken hearts can shine tonight Even darkness can pretend it's light [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal:] My heart is shaking, but I won't let go Running through the places only we know The tears are burning like a little flame But I keep smiling when I say your name [Children Choir (echo):] (Don't go away...) (Don't walk away...) (Stay here forever...) (Please don't fade away...) Female Vocal: If happiness is only borrowed time Then let me hold this moment in my mind... [Chorus] Stay and play with me! Please don't run away! Laughing through the tears until the end of yesterday Happy cry in the dark! A beautiful painful light! Holding onto dreams that disappear into the night Stay and play with me! Don't leave me all alone! In this little world that I created as our home Even if my heart breaks Even if the sky turns gray I'll keep smiling... If you promise you will stay... [Verse 2] One, two, three... hide behind the screen Welcome to my little broken dream Wooden soldiers dancing in a line Counting all the memories left behind Four, five, six... the clock won't move The little dolls are waiting in the room Is it fear or is it love I feel? Something imaginary, something real My tear-stained cheeks are shining bright Like little stars inside the night I know this world is falling apart But you're still playing inside my heart [Pre-Chorus 2] [Female Vocal:] I hear the echoes calling my name Like a melody trapped inside the rain Every laugh is hiding a cry Every dream is afraid to die [Children Choir:] (Stay and play...) (Stay and play...) (Never leave us far away...) Female Vocal: Even if tomorrow disappears I'll dance with all my beautiful fears... [Chorus 2] Stay and play with me! Please don't run away! Laughing through our tears as the world begins to fade Happy cry in the dark! Sweet sorrow burning bright! A little bit of heaven inside a nightmare night Stay and play with me! Forever in this place! Where our broken memories can never be erased Even when the rain falls Even when the stars decay I'll keep calling... Your name... [Bridge] I locked all the doors tonight... So nobody can take you away... I hid every broken piece... Inside this little heart of mine... Are you still here? Can you hear me? Please... Don't disappear... [Children choir, distant and ghostly] (Stay and play...) (Stay and play...) (Stay and play...) [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Stay and play with me! Dance with all my tears tonight! Even if the world is ending We can make the darkness bright! Happy cry! Oh, happy cry! Let the broken angels sing tonight! Stay and play with me! Never let me go! Inside this little dream where only we can know If tomorrow takes you far away... I'll remember yesterday... The happiest tears I ever cried... Were the ones you left behind... [Outro] Thank you... For staying with me... Thank you... For playing with me... Goodnight... (La la la...)
