Lyrics

Stay for just a while.

Stay and let me look at (Ebmaj7)you.

It’s been so long, I hard ly (Bb9)knew you (Ebmaj7)stand ing in the door.

Stay with me a while.

I on ly wan na talk to (Cbmaj7)you.

We’ve trav eled half way ’round the (Adim)world to (Bb7sus)find our selves a (Bb7)gain.

Sep tem ber (Eb)morn.

We (Bbm7)danced un til the night be (Eb9)came a brand new (Ab)day.

Two lov ers (Abm9)play ing scenes from (Db)some ro man tic play.

(Cm7)Sep tem ber (Fm7)morn ings still can (Bb9sus)make me feel that (Eb)way.

Look at what you’ve done.

Why, you’ve be come a grown up (Cm7)girl.

I still can hear you cry ing in the (Eb)cor ner of your (Fm7)room.

And look how far we’ve (Db9)come: so (Gbmaj7)far from where we used to (Cbmaj7)be,

but not so far that we’ve for (Adim)got ten

how it was be (Bb7)fore.

Sep tem ber (Eb)morn.

Do you re (Bbm7)mem ber how we danced that night a way?

Two lov ers (Abm9)play ing scenes from (Db)some ro man tic play.

Sep tem ber (Fm7)morn ings still can (Ab)make me feel (Bb9)that (Eb)way.

Sep tem ber (F)morn.

We (Cm7)danced un til the night be (F9)came a brand new (Bb)day.

Two lov ers (Bbm9)play ing scenes from (Eb)some ro man tic play.

Sep tem ber (Gm7)morn ings still can (Gm7)make me feel that (F)way.

(Gm7)Sep tem ber (F)morn.

We (Cm7)danced un til the night be (F9)came a brand new (Bb)day.

Two lov ers (Bbm7)play ing scenes from (Eb)some ro man tic play.

Sep tem ber (Gm7)morn ings still can (Gm7)make me feel that (F)way.

Sep tem ber (Gm7)morn ings still can (Gm7)make me feel that (F)way.
