Remember days when we were close and warm
As night turned to dawn
Long heated summer days of sun and wine
Seemed too short at the time

I would gladly make you happy
I would surely try
But you feel you must be free, so
I must say so long and kiss you goodbye

'Cause I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone

Remember fresh and sweet the thought of summer ways
Loving nights - lazy days
Warm scented evenings when we shared a lot to say
Now the words fade away

I would love to make you happy
I would surely try
But you feel you must be free, so
I must say so long and kiss you goodbye

'Cause I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone
No, I won't be your stepping stone
