lyrics

Hello Sunshine, won't you come in?
It's been so long since I've seen that smile.
Have a seat, some coffee, begin
Tell me a story and stay awhile. Please, stay a while.

Though it's been years our comfort's instant
As friends we've declared love before
One look in your eyes my heart sings and
I start to hope this could be more
So let's make this more. Please, can we make this more?

And I'd grateful if you would walk with me
And share some of your precious time and
I'd be grateful if you would talk with me
And share what's on your heart and mind and
I'd be grateful if you'd just sleep with me and
Trust my arms with your weary bones and
I'd be grateful if you'd just be with me
'Cause when you're here my heart feels whole

Won't you stay awhile?
