[Intro – 2x] Dmaj7 | A/C# | Bm7 | Gmaj7(add9) [Verse 1 – warm, intimate male vocal] Late summer's resting here upon the table, coffee in the cup, warm daylight through the glass. You say that life won't wait for our permission, I don't need to make it perfect anymore. You sit across from me and touch your hair, like we still have all the time we need. You don't have to tell me everything is fine, being here tonight is enough for me. [Chorus – wider, melodic] Stay with me until the evening, till the coffee's cold and daylight disappears. We don't have to make each other promises, having you beside me is enough right here. Bring me all your better moments, bring the weight you've carried through the years. I won't ask, no, I won't ask what you're bringing, I just want to have you somewhere near. And if summer takes its time in leaving, pour the wine and come sit close to me. Maybe moments just like this one are the ones that never really leave. Oh, yeah... [Verse 2] Wine at night, two glasses on the table, radio too low to catch each word. We laugh about the things that don't really matter, like two people with no prize left to earn. Summer ends, but we don't close the windows, or the doors on everything we've known. Maybe things that come a little later are the ones that stay when others go. [Chorus] Stay with me until the evening, till the coffee's cold and daylight disappears. We don't have to make each other promises, having you beside me is enough right here. Bring me all your better moments, bring the weight you've carried through the years. I won't ask, no, I won't ask what you're bringing, I just want to have you somewhere near. And if summer takes its time in leaving, pour the wine and come sit close to me. Maybe moments just like this one are the ones that never really leave. Oh, yeah... I can't promise summer lasts forever, I can't make the calendar stand still. I can make the coffee in the morning, pour the wine when evening comes around. And when the harder days arrive, I'll still be here somehow. [Final Chorus – emotional, full band] Give me all your highest moments, give me every time you hit the ground. Give me all the news you love to tell me, and the words you're scared to say out loud. When the weight of life becomes too heavy, I won't tell you everything's all right. I will simply stay here with you till you're ready to get up and try. Late summer is still here. Maybe this is finally our time of year. [Outro Oh... late summer... Stay a little longer... Oh, yeah...
