Stay Lyrics

#
#
#Stay, as performed by Alison Krauss
#written by Allyson Taylor-Larry Byrom
#charted by Bo Frazer
#with help from Emer M. Doherty
#
#Notes: Alison does this in F#, (capo on fret #4)
#If you can play the style where you hit the bass string and then
#strum, then (on both verse and chorus) hit the bass notes in the
#D to Em progression in a descending scale; i.e.,
#D A/7 Bm A G D/3 Em so the bass notes are:
Stay
Verse1:
Where have you been,
My long lost friend?
It's good to see you again.
Come and sit for a while;
I've missed your smile.
Today the past is goodbye.
Time can't erase
A lover's embrace.
Can't you hear it calling?
A new day dawning
You were longing to find.
Verse2:
Love's taken you far
Away from my heart,
And I've been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What took you from mine,
A vision that's faded through time?
But you sail away,
Farther than a summer's day,
Cause you heard it calling,
A new day dawning,
You were longing to find.
Chorus:
There is a way to make you stay.
Darlin don't turn away.
Don't doubt your heart, and keep us apart;
I'm right where you are.
Stay.
(solo over verse)
(repeat Chorus)
