If You Stay Until Morning

The night is getting quieter,

The streetlights have gone dim,

And there’s a little silence

Between me and you again.

You keep looking at the doorway,

Like you’re afraid to stay,

But neither one of us Has asked you

to go away. If you stay until morning,

I’ll make the coffee strong,

We can sit beside the window

And watch the night move on.

If you stay until morning,

I won’t ask you to explain,

Just let me have this little while

Before we’re strangers again.

There’s something about midnight

That makes us tell the truth,

And something about your silence

That makes me want you close.

Maybe tomorrow

changes everything,

Maybe nothing does,

But tonight you’re here beside me,

And tonight

is enough.

If you stay

until morning,

I’ll remember how it felt,

To have your hand inside of mine

And nothing else to solve.

If you stay until morning,

Don’t say anything at all,

Just stay until the sunlight Finds us through the wall.
