Lyric

You arrive with the late café

A small gold ring on your hand

I make room beside the window

You smile like you understand

No need to hurry

No need to explain

The room turns softly

When you say my name

Stay for a little while

Let the evening take its time

Your voice across the table

Makes an ordinary night divine

Stay for a little while

Leave your coat beside mine

We have nowhere else to be

And the hour is treating us kind

The waiter folds the linen

The last train leaves the square

You draw a circle on the glass

And find me waiting there

No need to promise

No need to pretend

Some moments know exactly

Where they should begin

Stay for a little while

Let the evening take its time

Your voice across the table

Makes an ordinary night divine

Stay for a little while

Leave your coat beside mine

We have nowhere else to be

And the hour is treating us kind

If tomorrow asks us questions

We can answer when it comes

Tonight is made of simple things

Two cups, one song, and us

Stay for a little while

Let the evening take its time

Your voice across the table

Makes an ordinary night divine

Stay for a little while

Leave your coat beside mine

We have nowhere else to be

And the hour is treating us kind

Stay for a little while

Let the evening take its time

Stay for a little while

And let the quiet be kind
