Sit down beside me and stay a while

Let our hearts do their parts

With wine and words to meet the hoursSo the day never starts

′Cause that's what I want

That′s what we need

'Cause that's what we want

′Cause that′s what we need

Sit down beside me and stay a while

'Til the night runs away

′Til we're old and grey

′Til we got nothin' left to say

′Cause that's what we want

That's what we need

′Cause that′s what we want

That's what we need

That′s what we need

'Cause that′s what we want

That's what we need

How long, lady love

You couldn′t talk to me now

How long, lady love

You couldn't talk to me now

And stay awhile

How long, lady love

You couldn't talk to me now

And stay awhile

Sit down beside me and stay a while

′Til the night runs away

′Til the mornin' rises and we part our ways

′Til the end of our days
