Come and stay a while with me
We could share our smiles and I'll pour the tea
There's nothing more I want than your company
Come and stay a while with me
Sitting beneath this old redwood tree
We watch the ants dance around in the leaves
And I hum along as you sing your song
Float away on your melody
Singing, "Come and stay a while with me"
The low hum of your voice puts me at ease
We could talk about the weather, we could shoot the breeze
Come and stay a while with me
You said, "Hey, I like the world you live in"
Waiting around to be more than a friend
There's no other way and I wish I could say
"You win, you win, you win"
Come away, come away, I'll sing while you play
I wish you wouldn't go
Oh, my love, I'll rescind, I don't want this to end
But I know, I know, I know
Come and stay a while with me
I'm tangled up here in the whites of my sheets
Home is near when I hear your heart beat
Stay a while with, with me
