Lyrics
[verse]
This ain't easy for me to admit out loud,
That I need somebody near me in this crowd,
The gospel organ swells beneath my quiet plea,
Won't you stay a little longer here with me.
[verse]
I don't know much about the way this ought to go,
But I know I need your warmth before I let you go,
The soul inside my voice is asking honestly,
Won't you stay a little longer here with me.
[chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me,
'Cause you're all I need,
Nothing in the whole wide world could take your place,
Oh, won't you stay with me.
[verse]
Morning's gonna come too soon and steal you off again,
But right now in this quiet moment let it just remain,
The choir hums a longing that I can't quite explain,
Won't you stay a little longer, ease this ache and pain.
[chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me,
'Cause you're all I need,
Nothing in the whole wide world could take your place,
Oh, won't you stay with me.
[bridge]
(instrumental - gospel-tinged organ swell, longing soul-pop mood)
[chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me,
'Cause you're all I need,
Nothing in the whole wide world could take your place,
Oh, won't you stay with me.
