Stay Awhile - John Farnham

Stay awhile, let me hold you Stay awhile, 'til I've told you, oh, oh Of the love that I feel tonight, oh yeah Stay awhile, what's your hurry? Stay awhile, 'cause I worry, oh Any time that you're out of sight I hate to see you go Tell you what I'll do I'll be good to you I'll make you glad that you are mine So come on baby Treat me right, must you run now? For the night's just begun now, oh Honey please, won't you stay awhile with me?, oh yeah, yeah Oh, I hate to see you go Tell you what I'll do I'll be good to you I'll make you glad that you are mine So come on baby Treat me right, must you run now? For the night's just begun now, oh Honey please, won't you stay awhile with me?, oh yeah, yeah Stay awhile with me

The best part of this small town is we got time We've got parking lots for days We don't need to rush, or worry about being late The best part of this feeling is that it's true My heart keeps beating songs for you I value the simple moments reclining in my state You like my sense of humor And I like the way you smile And we both love long conversations So why don't you stay, why don't you stay a while? You like to dance to music I like to sing about you And we both love long conversations So why don't you stay, why don't you stay awhile? Or maybe for a lifetime The worst part of this feeling is the risk you take You put your heart out there on a plate Before your will grows tired You'll find the gold that comes after the fire The more I get older, the clearer I see The misconceptions embedded me We can love, we can fail It never goes out of style You like my sense of humor And I like the way you smile And we both love long conversations So why don't you stay, why don't you stay a while? You like to dance to music I like to sing about you And we both love long conversations So why don't you stay, why don't you stay awhile? Or maybe for a lifetime, we can spend each day Keeping each other on the right track All the tough moments be vulnerable Speaking our truth, never look back Spinning around inside our circle Taking their shots but we won't crack Taking their shots but we won't crack You like my sense of humor I like the way you smile And we both love long conversations So why don't you stay, why don't you stay awhile? You like to dance to music I like to sing about you And we both love long conversations So why don't you stay, why don't you stay awhile? Why don't you stay awhile? Or maybe for a lifetime Or maybe for a lifetime Or maybe for a lifetime Or maybe for a lifetime

I've been working Working overtime Find who I want to be An' you got something Can't put my finger on it That makes my mind feel free I never thought I'd make it through the summertime I've never seen so much rain There you are, and the storm is rolling away I'm not gonna run Gonna look away Gonna let it out What's done is done There's a better day coming around It's taking some time, to believe, that there's something left of me Maybe you could help me I was thinking you could stay awhile There's a rumble, deep in my heart and It feels like a hurricane You're standing there with your yellow sundress on Taking the clouds away What a feeling buried inside me Been such a long, long time Now I know I couldn't turn back if I tried I'm not gonna run Gonna look away Gonna let it out What's done is done There's a better day coming around It's taking some time, to believe, that there's something left of me Maybe you could help me, I was thinking you would stay awhile It's been years now, we're still together Since that day you stayed awhile And its amazing, you still amaze me That day has changed my life We're not gonna run Not gonna look away Gonna let it out What's done is done Those better days keep coming around It's taken some time, to believe, but you knew what was best for me Baby how you helped me, I'm so glad that you stayed awhile Baby how you helped me, I'm so glad that you stayed awhile

I am thinking of you In my sleepless solitude tonight If it's wrong to love you Then my heart just won't let me be right 'Cause I've drowned in you And I won't pull through Without you by my side I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'Cause I can't go on Living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight Baby can you feel me Imagining I'm looking in your eyes I can see you clearly Vividly emblazoned in my mind And yet you're so far Like a distant star I'm wishing on tonight I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'Cause I can't go on Living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight I'd give my all to have Just one more night with you I'd risk my life to feel Your body next to mine 'Cause I can't go on Living in the memory of our song I'd give my all for your love tonight Give my all for your love Tonight

The touch of your hand Will let me know You take me in And let me go If not for love Why would we be? How is it done Two into one So easily? We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard We're lifted up by angels You understand Yet never say How every plan Would fade away If not for love Where would you be? Ashes to dust Water to rust Away from me We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets The angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Given wings to fly Leave the night behind us Trust the light to find us Even as we rise We're lifted up by angels Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Oh
