Stay With Me Lyrics

One by one we watched them fall,
Like trees on the country side.
Yeah you stayed right with me babe,
The river was rolling tide

Oh you stay, stay with me
Oh you stay, stay with me.

All through it with broken bones
Oh how you watched them heal
No you never turned away
You were never afraid to feel

Oh you stay, stay with me
Oh you stay, stay with me.

Oh and when the morning comes
Just know darling,
I had to be moving on

Oh and when the winter comes
Oh and you can't decide
For your rabbit to run
Or your rabbit to hide

Stay, stay with me
Please stay, stay with me.
Will you stay, stay with me
Will you stay, stay with me
Will you stay,
Stay

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The first time I heard this song it gave me goosebumps - it's so beautiful!

To me this song feels like it's written from a person who may be dying to the person they love. "One by one, we watched them fall..." - slowly watching other sufferers perhaps of a cancer all slipping into the 'great beyond'. And their partner has been at their side through all the hard times but the inevitable is approaching and he's telling them it is time for him to go to the 'great beyond' too.
