Lyric

You leave your teacup by the window

A little ring upon the wood

I keep the note you wrote on Sunday

Because it says what silence should

The kettle hums, the room turns amber

Your coat is resting on the chair

I never need a grand confession

When I can feel you standing there

Come a little closer

Let the evening take its time

Every small familiar gesture

Feels like a promise in disguise

Stay with me, softly

Let the whole world wait outside

Your hand in mine, slowly

That is all I need tonight

No perfect words, no reason why

Just your quiet heart beside mine

Stay with me, softly

And let this moment be our life

We trade the stories of the day gone

You laugh before the ending lands

I draw a circle on your knuckles

You turn it into holding hands

The record spins beneath the talking

A saxophone begins to sigh

You lean your head against my shoulder

And all the distance passes by

Come a little closer

Let the evening take its time

Every small familiar gesture

Feels like a promise in disguise

Stay with me, softly

Let the whole world wait outside

Your hand in mine, slowly

That is all I need tonight

No perfect words, no reason why

Just your quiet heart beside mine

Stay with me, softly

And let this moment be our life

If tomorrow brings its weather

We will meet it as we are

With a pocket full of laughter

And this room to guide us home

Stay with me, softly

Let the whole world wait outside

Your hand in mine, slowly

That is all I need tonight

No perfect words, no reason why

Just your quiet heart beside mine

Stay with me, softly

And let this moment be our life

Stay with me, softly

Your quiet heart beside mine
