Please stay,
I need you next to the fire.
The flames will paint
Your lovely face in the sky
My simple desire is
Dance with me in their time.
Please stay,
‘Till the evening dives slowly
Into your heavenly eyes.
I know, the stars will glow shortly,
I will cushion you
With all the clouds above us.
Please stay, don’t run,
I’ll give you the sweetest dream...
I’d like to see how the sun
Will golden your beautiful skin.
Please stay, don’t go anywhere,
I need you. I swear…
