Lyrics

All a long it was a fe ver.

A cold sweat, hot head ed be liev er.

I threw my hands in the air, said, “Show me some thing.”

He said, “If you dare, come a lit tle clos er.”

’Round and a round and a round and a round we go.

Oh, now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know.

Not real ly sure how to feel a bout it.

Some thing in the way you move

makes me feel like I can’t live with out you.

It takes me all the way.

I want you to stay,

stay.

I want you to stay,

ooh.

Stay by Rihanna — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Stay” by Rihanna 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 Bb at 110 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • 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.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
