"Stay Awhile" was a #1 hit in Canada (#7 Billboard, USA) for The Bells in
1971. They also had an earlier Top-10 Canadian hit with "Fly Little White
Dove, Fly" in 1970.

"Stay Awhile" is a duet. The first verse and chorus is sung by Jacki Ralph
and the second verse and chorus is sung by her brother-in-law, Cliff
Edwards. Then they sing the rest of the song together.


Into my room he creeps
Without making a sound
Into my dreams he peeps
With his hair all long and hanging down

  How he makes me quiver
  How he makes me smile
  With all this love I have to give him
  I guess I'm gonna stay with him awhile

She brushes the curls from my eyes
She drops her robe on the floor
And she reaches for the light on the bureau
And the darkness is her pillow once more

  How she makes me quiver
  How she makes me smile
  With all this love I have to give her
  I guess I'm gonna stay with her awhile

------ harmonica ------

  How it makes me quiver
  How it makes me smile
  With all this love I have to give you
  Guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile

  How it makes me quiver
  How it makes me smile
  With all this love I have to give you
  Guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile

  Stay with you awhile

(whispered)
  I guess I'm gonna stay
