Sandy Denny - Stay Awhile With Me Lyrics






It seems that loving is a game that I can't win
No sooner are you here than gone again
Is there nothing I can say
To change your mind and stay
Alone with you is all I long to be
Will you stay awhile with me

I've often gazed into my crystal ball
To find out if you think of me at all
But there's no reason why
You should even try
For there's nothing I can give as you can see
If you stay awhile with me

Stay awhile with me
And I will show you I'm true
Stay awhile with me
That's all I'm asking you to do

I see you in the street lamp's rusty gleam
It casts a magic spell as in a dream
The night is growing old
Come in from the cold
I'll lock the door and throw away the key
If you stay awhile with me

Sandy Denny Stay Awhile With Me Comments
  1. j.... f....

    Don't think this was anyone's radar in the USA in 1967. Great stuff.

  2. t.... ....

    The world lost a jewel.

  3. A.... D....

    Ogni volta che sento questo album, e questa canzone in particolare, sento i brividi sulla pelle. Un capolavoro assoliuto

  4. V.... d....

    i just love this song, ( stay a while with me) make's me think of my sister Ali. I moved abroad when i was young

  5. T.... B....

    Cant believe the shit im reading about her life with other stars. So disrespectful. At the end of the day this lady died too young because she didnt take care of herself enoygh.

  6. M.... S....

    I saw her with Fairport back in the late 60s...she was such a talent it's a crying shame she went so young

  7. R.... G....

    I have said it before - wonderful

  8. �.... ....

    beautiful..

  9. W.... M....

    Magnificent!

  10. H.... H....

    This song was written by Dave Cousins, who recognized Sandy's talent when she was a complete unknown.

  11. C.... N....

    Please just be glad you have had the chance to hear her sing.....

  12. A.... M....

    I reckon she was well hot in an unconventional way

  13. B.... S....

    she was ok before she got mixed up with bob plant and co, then it was downhill

    B.... S....

    @james edwards What does your question bring to the conversation?

    B.... S....

    You guys talk shit....! What`s all this to do with Sandy`s beautiful voice...!

    B.... S....

    @Frank Caruthers I'm questioning a comment by someone suggesting that Sandy's vocal skills had gone downhill because of Richard Thompson, and further, that he is a no 'talent hack'. Is that a problem? Sandy had an awesome singing voice, right down to the end.

    B.... S....

    I'm talking about Fairport's inferior song-writing and less interesting musical style. Sure, her voice was great, and that certainly never changed.

    B.... S....

    drugs kill worm

  14. o.... ....

    love you sandy

  15. j.... ....

    Love ya, Sandy!

  16. R.... G....

    Unbeatable - the marvelous Sandy Denny

  17. d.... ....

    Beautiful.

  18. j.... g....
