Stay Awhile, My Love

[Male] Ooooh… yeah…

[Female] Mmm… don’t you leave me now…

⸻

[Male] I used to walk these streets alone

Cold night wind cut to the bone

Kept my heart locked up tight

Afraid of love, afraid of the light

[Female] I learned to smile and play it strong

Pretendin’ I could move along

But every time somebody tried

I’d say goodbye and run to hide

[Male] Then you reached for my hand that night

[Female] And everything felt so right

[Both] Something changed deep inside

⸻

[Male] Stay awhile, my love

Don’t you run from what we’ve found

Lay your worries down

Right here in my arms

[Female] I’ve been scared of trustin’ hearts

Scared of fallin’ hard

But when you hold me close

It don’t feel so dark

Stay awhile, my love

You don’t have to be alone

You can call my heart your home

And baby… you are loved

⸻

[Female] I cry in silence late at night

Headlights glow but nothing feels right

I say goodbye before you can

Just to see if you’ll understand

[Male] I’ll stand outside your door in the rain

Through every doubt, through every pain

Every time you start to fall

I’ll be the one who catches it all

⸻

[Female] You don’t turn away from me

[Male] You love me honestly

[Both] And that’s all I need

⸻

[Female] Stay awhile, my love

Don’t let fear decide

[Male] I’ll be right here by your side

Through the storm

It ain’t always sweet and clear

Sometimes love brings tears

But if we hold on tight

We can make it right

Stay awhile, my love

Let the lonely days be done

You don’t have to run

Not anymore

And baby… you are loved

⸻

[Male] Don’t push me away

[Female] I’m tryin’ not to

[Male] Every scar you carry

[Female] I’m givin’ to you

[Both] We’ll carry them together now

⸻

Stay awhile, my love

Heaven’s in the way we hold on

Through the night till the dawn

We’ll be strong

[Male] You’re not alone anymore

[Female] I’m not afraid like before

Stay awhile…

Stay awhile…

Cause baby… you are loved.
