  • Kim Wilde – Stay Awhile Lyrics

    I’m touching your face and I
    Can’t get very far
    You travel a million miles
    Always in the stars

    And crossing the clouds
    A fading moon whispered, “It’s goodbye”
    But as it starts to die
    Stay a while, show your love
    Child among the stars
    Just stay a while, lay with me
    Tell me who you are

    I’ve never believed in much
    What can I be worth?
    I’m always a shooting star
    Falling down to earth
    I prayed in my heart, you’d never know
    Feelings wouldn’t show but now before you go

    Stay a while, show your love
    Child among the stars
    Just stay a while, lay with me
    Tell me who you are

    And crossing the clouds
    A fading moon whispers, “It’s goodbye”
    But as it starts to die
    Stay a while, show your love
    Child among the stars
    Just stay a while, lay with me
    Show me who you are

    Just stay a while
