Lyric

You leave your blue coat on my kitchen chair

A little rain still silver in your hair

The kettle hums, the evening settles in

You look at me, and everything begins

No grand parade, no promise carved in stone

Just your hand finding mine when we’re alone

Stay for the quiet, stay for the room

Stay while the roses lean into bloom

I don’t need forever written in the sky

Just this gentle way you meet my eyes

Stay for the quiet, stay close to me

That’s where the sweetest part of love can be

Your old cassette is playing by the sink

We trade small stories, pausing just to think

The dinner cools, but neither one can care

There’s something golden resting in the air

No perfect line, no photograph to frame

Just your shoulder brushing mine again

Stay for the quiet, stay for the room

Stay while the roses lean into bloom

I don’t need forever written in the sky

Just this gentle way you meet my eyes

Stay for the quiet, stay close to me

That’s where the sweetest part of love can be

If tomorrow brings a different view

I’ll remember how the night held you

Every ordinary, tender little part

Found a lasting place inside my heart

Stay for the quiet, stay for the room

Stay while the roses lean into bloom

I don’t need forever written in the sky

Just this gentle way you meet my eyes

Stay for the quiet, stay close to me

That’s where the sweetest part of love can be

Stay close to me

Stay for the quiet
