[Intro]
(Soft acoustic guitar picking in G-Em-C-D pattern)
Morning light creeps through your window glass
Coffee steam drifts like a quiet pass
You gaze out far beyond the skyline
Unspoken words fill up this space of mine
[Verse 1]
My hand reaches for yours so cold to touch
I feel the weight of all you’re bearing much
You say you need to find your own way through
But every step feels both sweet and blue
I see the doubt behind your gentle smile
You’re holding on just to stay a while
[Chorus]
Won’t you stay a while – don’t let these moments slip away fast
Let me hold your heart through every storm that’s cast
My love isn’t tied to where you need to roam
Stay a while, let your heart find room to grow
[Verse 2]
We built our story with small things so dear
Late-night talks and dreams we hold so near
Life’s road calls out your name with all its might
Yet you’re afraid to leave this warm light
I’ll never stand in the way of your flight
Stay a while before you soar up high
[Chorus]
Won’t you stay a while – don’t let these moments slip away fast
Let me hold your heart through every storm that’s cast
My love isn’t tied to where you need to roam
Stay a while, let your heart find room to grow
[Bridge]
(Raspy, intimate vocals)
I know you’re chasing freedom with all your soul
But home is where your heart can rest and be whole
Take a deep breath now, let your burdens fall
No need to rush or say a thing at all
[Final Chorus]
Won’t you stay a while – let’s make this moment last for good
I’ll hold your heart through every storm we could
My love will follow wherever you may go
Stay a while – before you have to go...
[Outro]
(Acoustic guitar only; fades slowly)
Stay a while...
Just stay a while...
