Текст песни Stay a While With Me - Lou Rawls

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
