[Intro] [Hammond organ, electric piano] [Verse 1] [Vocal 1] [Male] [tender warm soul, pleading] The candles burning low and the music's playing soft Your coat is on the chair, but darling, take it off The clock is on the wall and it's telling me it's late But some things in this life, baby, just can't wait I see you reaching for your keys Oh, won't you listen to me please [Chorus] [Male] [powerful soul hook, backing harmonies answer] Stay a little longer, baby Don't let the night slip away Stay a little longer, baby There's so much I need to say Hold me till the morning comes Stay a little longer, baby [Verse 2] [Male] [tender warm soul, pleading] The world outside is cold and it's waiting at the door It'll take you back tomorrow, like it did the night before But right here in my arms you're all I'll ever need Every time you leave, girl, it makes my poor heart bleed One more dance across the floor One more kiss, I'm asking for more [Chorus] [Male] [powerful soul hook, backing harmonies answer] Stay a little longer, baby Don't let the night slip away Stay a little longer, baby There's so much I need to say Hold me till the morning comes Stay a little longer, baby [Bridge] [Male] [strings build, key change] I don't need the stars, I don't need the moon All I'm asking is don't leave too soon [Chorus] [Male] [powerful soul hook, backing harmonies answer] Stay a little longer, baby Don't let the night slip away Stay a little longer, baby There's so much I need to say Hold me till the morning comes Stay a little longer, baby [Outro] [Male] [soft, organ] Stay Just a little longer [organ and soft horns fade]
