Stay Here With Me
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
Brown leaves stuck to the damp grass
Nothing about that day moved fast
You sat close, didn't say a word
I felt something settle, unheard

[Pre-chorus]
I've built my whole house on your calm
Held steady by the weight of your palm
And I'm leaning toward the sound of your name

[Chorus]
Monica, you're the peace I found
On that old bench, on that quiet ground
Monica, through the whole wide year
You're the one truth I hold near

[Verse 2]
The wind moved slow through the trees
You pulled your coat round your knees
I watched you breathe like the world could wait
I've never doubted that as fate

[Pre-chorus]
I've built my whole house on your calm
Held steady by the weight of your palm
And I'm leaning toward the sound of your name

[Chorus]
Monica, you're the peace I found
On that old bench, on that quiet ground
Monica, through the whole wide year
You're the one truth I hold near

[Bridge]
No grand thing was ever said
Just your hand, and the leaves, and my head
Turned toward you like it always does

[Chorus]
Monica, you're the peace I found
On that old bench, on that quiet ground
Monica, through the whole wide year
You're the one truth I hold near

[Outro]
Let the leaves keep sticking to the grass
I'll stay right here as long as you last
