Here in this shaded room,
This warm green shaded room,
You have brought the love
I longed for in the night.

Oh, how many evenings I'd vow
That someday you'd be
Where you are now.
Here,
Here by the window sill
Neath these curtains that are starched and still,
Looking toward the sky
Through leaves of silver trees.

Oh, stay, darling, stay,
Though dusk invades the day,
Darling, stay through the afternoon,
And until the dawn obscures the moon,
Stay this way.
