---

Let me warm your hands for this one last time.

Do you know how much I’ve learned from you?

You’re the only one who can make me cry,

But there’s just one thing I can’t say to you:

Stay!

I’ve been waiting for so long,

All alone.

Stay!

You’re the light that warms my soul.

Can’t let go.

I know that’s not fair,

But I want to say:

‘Stay! Stay! Stay!’

You can see what hides behind my smile.

You’re so close I can see my reflection in your eyes.

But what will happen when between us lie

Fifty-four hundred miles?

Stay!

I’ve been waiting for so long,

All alone.

Stay!

You’re the light that warms my soul.

Can’t let go.

I know that’s your way,

But I need to say:

‘Stay! Stay! Stay!’

I know you are free.

Please, just hear my plea:

‘Stay with me! Stay with me!’

I can swear that I’ve known you for a thousand years.

I’m afraid I’ll close my eyes and you’ll disappear.

Wandering on the same dark path, but I’m always late.

Can you hear me sing this song, asking you to...

...Stay?

I’ve been waiting for so long.

Can’t let go.

Stay!

I’ve been waiting for so long,

All alone.

Stay!

You’re the light that warms my soul.

Can’t let go.

I know you are free,

Please, just hear my plea:

‘Stay with me!

Stay with me!

Stay with me!’

I know that’s not fair,

But I need to say:

‘Stay!

Stay.’
