Analysis of Stay with me a while
Stay with me a while, with your smile.
Kiss me with those lips that touch my heart and soul; caress my face, stroke my hair give me your deep and loving care.
Brighten my day with with those sparkling eyes that steal my thoughts and rush my blood.
Give me that lasting devotion you know you should.
I’m not a weakling, I’m not so shy, but I need you; at times I cry. I need your all in all.
Stay with me with your smile, don’t let me stumble, don’t let me fall.
Feeling like a darkened forest in the night, like a mountain too high and out of sight, like snow in winter, - covered white.
Like a silent ocean, - deep and sad;
Whisper your kind and gentle words, - that make me glad.
Stay with me a while with your smile.
