Lyrics

Sat on my bed and (G)looked in my eyes;

saw I was griev ing for (G)some oth er time.

Stood on my breath and (G)moved close to say,

“Oh, won’t you love me?

Let’s (G)walk out to play.”

(C)Ooh, we caught the moon

from the sky

and wrapped it up with the love

that we found

in our eyes.

And if the (Dm)words don’t tell me you love me and if the (Em)night won’t hold us as one.

Now there is (Dm)noth ing left that can numb me.

Do you love me, or do I run?

Why don’t you ask me to stay?

Ask me to stay?

Ask me to stay?

Ask me to stay?

This page shows “Ask Me To Stay” by Amber Run in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 116 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
