✓Linger Awhile (1923)

[Instrumental prelude] The time is coming soon to say goodbye, A time of sadness it will be, But Honey listen to my parting sigh, And linger on awhile with me. Linger awhile with me. [CHORUS] The stars shine above you, (ohh) Yet linger awhile; They whisper "I love you," (Love, love, love) So linger awhile, And when you have gone away, (ohhh) Each hour will seem a day, I've something to tell you, So linger awhile. Linger awhi (for me) Linger awhile [Instrumental, sweet romantic piano keyboard melody] Linger awhile [Verse 2] Your pretty smile will always linger on, Tho' you are many miles away, I will be lonely dear, when you are gone, The skies of blue will turn to gray. [CHORUS] The stars shine above you, (shine above) Yet linger awhile; They whisper "I love you," (Love, love, love) So linger awhile, And when you have gone away, (when you're gone) Each hour will seem a day, I've something to tell you, So linger awhile. Linger awhile (Linger awhile for me) Time is coming soon for goodbye, A time of sadness it will be, So Honey listen to my parting sigh, And linger on awhile with me. linger on awhile with me.
