Remember days when we were close and warm, as night turned to dawn.
Long heated summer days of sun and wine seemed to 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,
Oh, 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,
Oh, I won't be your stepping stone.
