Please Let Me Stay

Story Behind The Song

I met this handsome, talented, sensitive man with whom I fell in love. He inspired so many of my songs - both the falling in love ones, the how do we make it work? ones, and the break-up songs. This one was written soon after we had become a couple. When I brought it into the studio as part of my musical memoirs project, Bill Bentley suggested it become a duet. I like that....

Lyrics

There is no reason why I love you but I love you
And I'm asking you please, won't you please let me stay
We have a whole world to discover
And, lover, I simply can't wait to begin one more day

Chorus:
I want to be lovers, I want to be friends
I want to be your dream that never ends
But even more I want to be sure
That you feel the same way
There is no reason why I love you but I love you
And I'm asking you please, won't you please let me stay

You comfort me so easily
Your gentleness touching me like a welcome calm in a storm
And when the words run dry you know that I
Will still be here, sheltering, keeping you warm

Chorus
