Stay With Me

Did you know, that you hold
My heart, in the palm of your hand
And when I lay me down 
It's to you, I pray my soul keeps
So darlin', would you stay with me

Would you stay, this way
Wrapped up, right here in my arms
For forever and a day
Cause I need you that way
Never knew, I could feel this much
So darlin', would you stay with me

You got walls, that's ok
I'll spend my lifetime chipping away
From now until when, you can let me come in
I'd gladly wait, on the dark side of the moon
So darlin', would you stay with me

If I wrote it all down
Would you come around	 
If I could sing it, without going off key
Tell me darlin, would you stay with me

Would you stay, this way
Wrapped up, right here in my arms
For forever and a day
Cause I need you that way
Never knew, I could feel this much
So darlin', would you stay with me

But if you go
You should know
With you, is where I'm meant to be
There's no valley too low
Nor river that wide 
Screw the mountains, that seem to reach for the sky
So darlin', would you stay with me

Please darlin', would you stay with me

This is beautiful. Declarations of heart, while daring to ask love if they will declare the same. Fantastic job!
