Stay Close - Brenda Russell

You look at me and wonder

If I’ll go under or give you love you need

Will stars always be in heaven?

I’m only guessin' as far as I can see

I could never give up loving the sun

How could I deny such a perfect one?

So, when you want the time, dear

I have to spend here, I’ll gladly share with you

My life as far as I imagined

There would be passion if only you stay close

I could never give up wanting to fly

What’s a bird in flight without any sky?

You make me smile, it’s been a while

Since I felt this way, won’t you stay?

Your kiss so light as a feather, pull me together

And I’m a stormy sea

So, shall I ask my question, just a suggestion

Won’t you just give your love to me?

My love, make it magic

It would be tragic if you let go of me

I know all the things that sadden could never end

If only you stay close to me
