Stay By Me
Annie Lennox · Diva
Stay by me
And make the moment last.
Please take these lips
Even if I have been kissed
A million times...
And I don't care if there is no tomorrow
When I could die here in your arms
Even if the stars have made us blind
We're blind...
We're blind...
So blind in love.
Sweet darling
Don't you know
That we're no different to anyone?
We stumble
We falter
But we're no different than anyone.
And all the winter snow has melted down
Into a pool of silver water.
And we're standing in a thunder cloud
Dark as your hair...
Dark as your hair.
And make the moment last.
Please take these lips
Even if I have been kissed
A million times...
And I don't care if there is no tomorrow
When I could die here in your arms
Even if the stars have made us blind
We're blind...
We're blind...
So blind in love.
Sweet darling
Don't you know
That we're no different to anyone?
We stumble
We falter
But we're no different than anyone.
And all the winter snow has melted down
Into a pool of silver water.
And we're standing in a thunder cloud
Dark as your hair...
Dark as your hair.
