Prompt / Lyrics
[ vocal improvisation recommended] [Intro – Soft Organ & Horns] [Male] Ooooh… yeah… [Female] Mmm… don’t you leave me now… ⸻ [Verse 1] [Male] I used to walk these streets alone Cold night wind cut to the bone Kept my heart locked up tight Afraid of love, afraid of the light [Female] I learned to smile and play it strong Pretendin’ I could move along But every time somebody tried I’d say goodbye and run to hide [Male] Then you reached for my hand that night [Female] And everything felt so right [Both] Something changed deep inside ⸻ [Chorus – Big Soul Lift] [Male] Stay awhile, my love Don’t you run from what we’ve found Lay your worries down Right here in my arms [Female] I’ve been scared of trustin’ hearts Scared of fallin’ hard But when you hold me close It don’t feel so dark [Both] Stay awhile, my love You don’t have to be alone You can call my heart your home And baby… you are loved ⸻ [Verse 2 – Groove Builds] [Female] I cry in silence late at night Headlights glow but nothing feels right I say goodbye before you can Just to see if you’ll understand [Male] I’ll stand outside your door in the rain Through every doubt, through every pain Every time you start to fall I’ll be the one who catches it all ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Stronger] [Female] You don’t turn away from me [Male] You love me honestly [Both] And that’s all I need ⸻ [Chorus – Higher, Fuller] [Female] Stay awhile, my love Don’t let fear decide [Male] I’ll be right here by your side Through the storm [Both] It ain’t always sweet and clear Sometimes love brings tears But if we hold on tight We can make it right Stay awhile, my love Let the lonely days be done You don’t have to run Not anymore And baby… you are loved ⸻ [Bridge – Call & Response] [Male] Don’t push me away [Female] I’m tryin’ not to [Male] Every scar you carry [Female] I’m givin’ to you [Both] We’ll carry them together now ⸻ [Final Chorus – Big 60s Soul Finale] [Both] Stay awhile, my love Heaven’s in the way we hold on Through the night till the dawn We’ll be strong [Male] You’re not alone anymore [Female] I’m not afraid like before [Both – Big Finish] Stay awhile… Stay awhile… Cause baby… you are loved.
