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
