STAY A WHILE (Jeb Loy Nichols)

last night the day dusk breaking
was just my heart
so pull the blanket up
it's hours before the day grows dark

sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(boy)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while

looking out my morning window
young lovers walking home
what will the afternoon bring
will i be left alone?

sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(boy)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while

i don't mind what you do today
after you walk out the door
right now please turn around
stay one minute more
don't take the road to town
that's not the road to take
oh we know 'cos it's gonna bring me down
if you're gone when i awake

sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(boy)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while

you know i love you but you can't keep still
so many promises to fulfil
you'll never be here anyway
don't be gone when i awake
(baby no)
(i just want you)
(to make me smile)

sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(boy stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while

i want you to stay a while, a while, a while

i want you to stay a while, a while, a while

sweet, sweet, stay a while
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(boy)
sweet, sweet, stay a while
(stay a while)
sweet, sweet, stay a while

you know i love you but you can't keep still
(stay a while)
so many promises to fulfil
(boy)
you'll never be here anyway
(stay a while)
don't be gone when i awake
