lyrics

Let Me Stay


Lean a little closer baby
So I can smell your smile
Stay a little longer baby
How can't you tell
It's been this way a little while
And I’m not ready to walk away


Laugh a little louder baby
I don't mind the noise
And pour a little more wine baby
Give me an excuse not to drive
Because I haven't been honest with you

See you're just the type of man I'd fall in love with
And I'm not the only one to love your way
But I don't want to throw away the time we're spending
I could fall in love if you'd only let me stay


See the way she's leaning baby
To get a little closer to you
She's not the only one who's dreaming
Of sharing a bed and a life with you
It's true

You don't see the things I'm feeling
And I can't tell you what I can't put down
My words are racing, mind escaping
Let me love you from a distance I won't tell

Cause you're just the type of man I'd fall in love with
And I'm not the only one to love your way
But I don't want to throw away the time we're spending
I could fall in love if you'd only let me stay


Can you tell I’m watching baby
Or that I’m about to turn away
You could find a way to stop me
But this is a game that I don’t play


Still, you're just the type of man I'd fall in love with
And I'm not the only one to love your way
But I don't want to throw away the time we're spending
I could fall in love if you'd ask me to stay
So let me stay

about

Ariana Brophy Edmonton, Alberta

Ariana Brophy is the songwriting equivalent of mulled wine; sweet, nostalgic, perfectly paired with a rainy evening and a fireplace. With vocal clarity that would suggest she has been singing a lifetime, she writes songs that weave heartbreak, love, hope and loss onto a canvas of stylized fingerpicking and expert harmony, exploring what it means to genuinely feel. ... more
