Can I Stay

Can I stay here with you till the morning
I am so far from home and I feel a little stoned
So can I stay here with you till the morning?
There's nothing I want more than to wake up on your floor
So lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses, whisper
Darling, is this love?

So can I stay here with you, till the day breaks?
There's something you should know
I ain't got no place to go
So can I stay here with you, till the day breaks
How happy it would make me to see your face when I wake
So lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses, whisper
Darling, is this love?

So can I stay here with you till the night time
I've fallen sad inside and I need a place to hide
So can I stay, here with you, through the night time
I've fallen so sad it's true, now won't you take me to your room
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses, whisper
Darling is this love?

Whisper to me, is this love?

- Can I Stay (Ray LaMontagne)

Decided to listen to Ray LaMontagne on my mp3 player this morning as it's Valentine's Day. It brought back lots of very happy memories for me. Almost every night I would light candles in the bedroom before Sharon came through and put on Ray's "Till The Sun Turns Black" CD. It has such a soft, relaxing and romantic vibe about it and it is great to chill out and snuggle to. It was so lovely to hear those songs again and be able to just picture how things were.

The song is about a love that is just blossoming and it's all new and warm, and you don't want that person to leave and you don't want to leave that person. How just wanting to be "near" someone is enough, to breathe the same air... and yet it's new and you wonder is this love?
Because love should feel this good...
Love should be wanting to fall asleep and wake up to the same person for the rest of your days...........

....and that leads me on to the next song in the next entry.............
