Lyrics
Guess it’s true, I’m not good at a one night stand.
But I still a need love ’cause I’m just a man.
And These nights nev er seem to go to plan.
But I don’t want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
’Cause you’re all I need.
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see.
But, dar ling, stay with me.
Guess it’s true, Why am I so e mo tion al?
No, it’s not a good look.
Gain some self con trol.
And deep down I er know this nev er works.
But you can lay with to me so it does n’t hurt.
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
’Cause you’re all I need.
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see.
But, dar ling, stay with me.
stay with me.
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
’Cause you’re all I need.
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see.
But, dar ling, stay
with me.
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
’Cause you’re all I need.
This ain’t love, it’s clear to see.
But, dar ling, stay
with me.

Questions about this song (12)
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Stay With Me"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith played in?
- Stay With Me is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Stay With Me"?
- The arrangement plays at 92 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Stay With Me" easy to play on piano?
- Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
- Can I download sheet music for "Stay With Me"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Stay With Me"?
- "Stay With Me" was originally performed by Sam Smith. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What other songs by Sam Smith can I play here?
- Try "NO PEACE", "FIRE ON FIRE", "WRITING'S ON THE WALL". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Stay With Me" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 92 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
