Stay by Doxter S on Apple Music

Stay by Doxter S is one of 73 original song written by Doxter S and produced at Crimson Studios in McLean, Virginia. Now available for streaming on Apple Music and Spotify.

This beautiful love song in G-Major can be performed by either female or male lead. A piano provides the foundation. The cello and contrabass alternate legato and pizzicato. There is syncopation between the instrument voices.​

The instrumental intro, with piano, cello, and contrabass, is happy. The melody for the first and second verse, sung by Sara, is plaintive. Each verse has a tension building bridge. The second verse follows the first bridge immediately. (The original score separated them with a repeat of the intro).​

The chorus is commanding, strong, with a positive vibe. The use of the B-Major in a single phrase of the chorus adds unexpected urgency to the lyrics. (This production was transposed to D-Major, so F-Major provides the tension). ​

The first and second chorus are separated by a vocalized version of the intro melody. This is again upbeat, happy. The second chorus has different lyrics. Following the second chorus is a repeat of the instrumental intro. The song ends with a repeat of the first chorus on a happy note. ​

Lyrics

You meet me at my garden gate Wonder why I was so late
Had to dry my tears Don't think that I was crying

I know some women can be strong Take whatever comes along
If I spoke like that You'd know that I was lying

We tried to talk about it Always seemed to end with shouting
We can't forgive ourselves for Indecision, always doubting

Your visit comes as no surprise I can see it in your eyes
That you just stopped by to Tell me you are leaving

I knew one day you'd want to go Knew how I would miss you so
I prepared myself but Seeing is believing

We had our share of sorrow Just like modern day romances
I see a new tomorrow I believe in second chances

Stay with me, don't leave please Stay with me 
What's in your Heart is all that matters, Baby Can't you see?

Stay with me and hold me Tenderly and 
I will smile and dry my tears If you just stay

I believe there are second chances You and me, Modern day romances
People can discover When they love each other

Stay with me, why don't you Stay with me 
What is it Out there that would take you far away from me?

Baby we were happy Can't you see, so drop that
Bag and close the door will you just stay

Stay with me, don't leave please Stay with me, what's in your
Heart is all that matters, Baby Can't you see?

Stay with me and hold me Tenderly and 
I will smile and dry my tears If you just stay
