STAY A LITTLE LONGER [Intro — soft guitar, warm bass, light percussion] [Instrumental — mellow reggae guitar / organ] (Bass gets deeper. Soft guitar answers the vocal melody.) --- [Verse 3] Morning always comes too early When the night feels good like this, Sunlight finds the curtains And steals another little kiss. But even when the room gets brighter, Even when you have to leave, Take a little piece of this peace For the days you barely breathe. And if the world gets heavy, If you're running out of room, You know there's somewhere you can come back Where the night still makes space for you. I won't promise perfect loving, Perfect ain't what I can give, But I'll give you something honest— Something warm enough to live in. --- [Final Chorus — harmonies enter] Stay a little longer, Let the night move slow, Put your head against my shoulder, Ain't nowhere we need to go. Stay a little longer, Let tomorrow wait outside, I don't need the whole world with me— Just you here tonight. [Background:] Stay... [Lead:] Don't rush away. [Background:] Stay... [Lead:] We got time tonight. [Both:] Let the whole world keep on turning— We'll be alright. --- [Outro] Come closer now... Don't say a word. Sometimes the sweetest thing isn't what gets said. It's what stays in the room after everything else goes quiet. Stay a little longer.
