Lyrics

Stay for just a while.

Stay and let me look at you.

It’s been so long, I hard ly knew you (Fmaj7)stand ing in the door.

Stay with me a while.

I on ly wan na talk to you.

We’ve trav eled half way ’round the world to (C7)find our selves a gain.

Sep tem ber (F)morn.

We (F7)danced un til the night be came a brand new (Bb)day.

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

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

Look at what you’ve done.

Why, you’ve be come a grown up girl.

I still can hear you cry ing

in the (F)cor ner of your room.

And look how far we’ve come: so (Dbmaj7)far from where we used to be,

but not so far that we’ve for got ten

how it was be fore.

Sep tem ber (F)morn.

Do you re (F7)mem ber how we danced that night a way?

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

Sep tem ber (Bb)morn ings still can make me feel that (Bbm7)way.
