Stay With Me
Vietnam was 66
Two best friends take a bad hit
And never saw it come
But its all there
One was a rich boy, a doctors son
The other the father of a girl age one
Never had the change to hold his daughters hand
New york flat in 76
Two girlfriends shoot a bad fix
Never woke up saw heaven before it saw them
One was a daughter of a prominent man
The other the mother of a girl age ten
Who walked in and saw mama sleeping in gods hands
And she cried
Chorus
Stay with me
Mama wont you stay here with me
You promised you would never leave
Stay with me
Oh wont you stay here with me
Mama, hold my had and stay with me
Years go by, the girls 23
Had a rough go, but shes on her feet
The man so rough
A few good years, a wedding ring
Wasnt enough to fulfill his dreams
He came home from work one day and said Im leaving you
She cried...
Chorus
Stay with me, honey
Wont you stay right here with me
You promised you would never leave
Stay with me, whoa whoa
Stay right here with me
Wont you hold my hand stay with me
Emergency room, number four
A woman cried out as the child is born
She stares into eyes and says
My lifes had its ups and downs
But for yours I will be around
I will always be around
And she cried
Chorus
Stay with me, whoa whoa
Wont you stay right here with me
I promise I will never leave
Stay with me, oh
Wont you stay right here with me
Child, you hold my had stay with me
Child, you hold my hand stay with me.

Please Hold On
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Ive heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie youve told me
Id be a righ man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lads constant cruisin
Expains the tears
The lonely path shes choosin
If I didnt love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, dont you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, dont you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

American Baby
If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
And still make lemonade taste like a summer day
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You lift me up and always will
I see you in life
Hope I don't get left behind
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way

I hope you
Stay, American baby

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you

Just Cant Stay Away
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time Ive ever wanted to get away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just cant stay away from you, baby, (from you) ooh, yeah
You see, I just cant stay away from you
Let me tell you Ive been through a lot of changes
You see, my momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh lord, you know they warned me
They said youre no good for me, but I just ignored it
Yes I did, cause I didnt have time, no time to sit around and decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
Theres not much you can do
So you see thats why I (just cant) just cant stay away (stay away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh baby
Hold me darling, hold (just cant) me darling, I cant stay away from (stay away) you
I dont wanna (from you) from you
Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, Ive tried and Ive tried, and Ive tried, baby
(when you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah) years ago
That when love gets in your blood, youll find its hard to let go
And oh, I (just cant) baby, I (stay away)
Cant (from you) you see it in my eyes
cause Im wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I (just cant) I dont wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
Its not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and i
(just cant) thats exactly why I (stay away)
Cant stay away (from you) from you
Oh cause Im wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, Im down on my knees, (I just cant) hold me darling
Im (stay away) begging you please, hold me, darling
(from you) cause I just cant stay from you, baby, no, no...

Stay
If thou can wait then thou shall stay Baby I want for nothing Just your tender sweet loving I know you got your things to do But tell me what means more to you hanging out with me or with your boys Sometimes I do get lonely But no you and no one to hold me You want so much to lay me down Is that what keeps you hanging 'round? Is that the only way to win your heart? But if I loved you a little bit longer If our love was a little bit stronger Would you stay stay Baby please stay If I granted all of your wishes Gave you more than touches and kisses Would you stay stay I need you to stay I'll be be yours forever But can we keep us together? I know the time is drawing near I promised you

Hold Fast To The Right
Come and sit by the side of your mother my boy
You have only a moment I know
And stay while I give you this parting advice
It is all that I have to bestow
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
Wherever your footsteps may roam
Oh for sake not the the way of salvation my boy
That you've learned from your mother at home
In your satchel you'll find there's a Bible my boy
It's the book of all others the best
It will teach you to live and prepare you to die
And will take to the gates of the blest
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right...

This world is big and so-awake
I stayed up late to hear your voice
This light is here to keep you warm
This song is here to keep you strong
I made a list of things to say
But all I really want to say
All I really want to say is
Hold her and keep him strong
While Im away from here
Hold her and keep her strong
While Im away from here
Hold her and keep him strong
While Im away from here
Ive seen the world and so-awake
And stay up late to hear me sing
Just hold her

Stay '81
Verse:
Am I just dreaming or did you walk through my door?
Do you still feel the same way that you did before?
Did you come to bring me sorrow?
Like all those wasted days
Let's not think about tomorrow
You can stay
Am I just dreaming or did you say you have to go?
If you can't stay forever, I don't wanna know
There's no need to talk about it
The way things used to be
I'm not living here without you
(Chorus:)
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
(repeat)
No, no, can't let go
No, no, can't let go
No, no, can't let go
Am I just dreaming?
(verse)
You could stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'
Won't you stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay darlin'

You could stay, stay, stay darlin'
You could stay, stay, stay darlin'

All night
Love me like the rainbow loves the light
Hold tight
Feels me like the raindrops kiss the sky
So right
Feels so right no matter what we do
I'm just gonna keep on loving you
I think I should stay awhile and keep enjoying you
Come close, wrap me in your arms
Say you want me too
Intoxicated by the way youre making me move
I know I'm gonna keep on loving you

If you wanna be with me, at your liberty)

(ahh, ohh, do-doo)
Ill tell you something,
To let you understand the way I feel, just what you mean to me
Thank you for fine times, we nearly made it all -
The way we know, it wasnt meant to be.
You say we feel the same, there aint no blame.. to decide
But if a little time, could change your mind, Ill be here..
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
(do you, do you)
Do you remember, how lovers right for summers - even nights,
Would never seem to end,
And as december, comes stirring with that finger of desire
To feel it once again
You worry bout youre friends, what if they find whats going on?
But if you want to try to make it come alive, Ill be here..
And you can call me (you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
You can hold me (you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
And you can call me (you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
And you can touch me girl (you wanna run to me) at your liberty.
Help me out!
I live in doubt
Sort me out, yeaaaahhhhhhh....
-
Dont make it every night, dont wanna be the love of your life
So if you are inclined to spend a little time, Ill be here..
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
You can hold me (if you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
And you can call me (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
And you can touch me girl (if you wanna run to me) at your liberty.
Touch me girl, (if you wanna stay with me) at your liberty.
Help me out, (if you wanna be with me) at your liberty.
Sort me out, (if you wanna run to me), at your liberty.
Or you can set me free (if you wanna run to me), at your liberty.
(if you wanna stay with me, at your liberty).

Somewhere Between Lovers And Friends
Somewhere between lovers and friends
Well baby, tonight if we take it any closer
We might sleep right off the edge
We gotta stay here
Somewhere between lovers and friends.
We gotta hold back (our love will be stronger)
Hold back (stay a little longer)
Somewhere between lovers and friends.
Moonlight dancing in our eyes tonight
About to lose our self control
I think well both know when the time is right
So right now lets both admit it
We got trouble if we forget it, were
Somewhere between lovers and friends.
We gotta hold back (were heading for the fast lane)
Hold back (we got trouble if we dont stay)
Somewhere between lovers and friends.
I think well both know when the time is right

Cant You See
(monte brinkley/john duarte/tim james)
You took me wrong just because we kissed
And now I dont know how to say goodbye
I know its wrong when youre holding me like this
Still wont you stay, let me love you for awhile
You know Im not that strong when I see you smile
Cant you see
This is all a big mistake
I should try and walk away
But I need someone to hold me
And I know theres no way that this can last
Still I know that if you ask me to
I know I would stay
Tonight, just for tonight
You look at me and you dont understand
You know Im not the one that could feel your dreams
I cant believe that this is how I am
Still wont you stay, let me love you for awhile
You know Im not that strong when I see you smile
Cant you see
This is all a big mistake
I should try and walk away
But I need someone to hold me
And I know theres no way that this can last
Still I know that if you ask me to
I know I would stay
Tonight
I love the way you watch me
I love you the way we move
But in my heart I know
Ill never be in love with you
Cant you see
Cant you see
This is all a big mistake
I should try and walk away
But I need someone to hold me
And I know theres no way that this can last
Still I know that if you ask me to
I know I would stay
Tonight, just for tonight
