To Make You Stay

To make you stay, dear girl, to make you stay
I'll hide you away in the night time
No one will find you under my right arm
No one will find you under my right arm

Don't you feel happy when it's all done?
Don't you feel sad when you've lost someone?
Dear, dear, stay till the dawn comes in
Teach me to be a summer's morning
Teach me to be a summer's morning

Don't say no, dear girl, don't smile now and say no
Give me a smile when the night is gone
Teach me to be a winter's blossom
Teach me to be a winter's blossom

Dear, dear, dear, I once had a starling
Dear, dear, dear, my pretty little darling
Dear, dear, dear, but she flew away in the night time
From under my right arm
