Stay for a While

[Verse 1] You leave your gloves beside the chair A little rain still marks the pair The waiter folds the linen square And lets the room grow still [Verse 2] Your coffee cools beside my hand The band begins a softer strand I write your name where sugar stands Then brush the letters clear [Chorus] Stay for a while, not for too long Let this small hour become a song No need to promise right from wrong Just turn your eyes to mine [Verse 3] The last bus sighs along the street Two empty glasses lightly meet You say the night is bittersweet I say it tastes like spring [Bridge] If morning finds us changed somehow We need no answer here and now The quiet has its own vow And yours is close to mine [Chorus] Stay for a while, not for too long Let this small hour become a song No need to promise right from wrong Just turn your eyes to mine [Outro] Stay for a while Stay for a while
