Stay Awhile

Dusty Springfield · Classic [2009]

Stay awhile, let me hold you

Stay awhile, 'til I've told you

Of the love that I feel tonight

Stay awhile, what's your hurry?

Stay awhile, 'cause I worry, oh

Any time that you're out of sight

I hate to see you go

Tell you what I'll do

I'll be good to you

I'll make you glad that you are mine

So come on baby

Treat me right, must you run now?

For the night's just begun now, oh

Honey please, won't you stay awhile with me?

Oh, I hate to see you go

Tell you what I'll do

I'll be good to you

I'll make you glad that you are mine

So come on baby

Treat me right, must you run now?

For the night's just begun now, oh

Honey please, won't you stay awhile with me?

Stay awhile with me
