Stay A Little Closer To Me 1934

When darkness comes, dear,
you're safe from harm,
as long as you remain in my arms.
When skies are warning
of storms to be,
sweetheart, don't stay too far from me.

When the shadows come a stealing
stay a little closer to me,
let me share each lonely feeling
stay a little closer to me.
If I should ever love you,
what would I do.
This dreary world would
not be worth going thro'
till at last the storms are over
stay a little closer to me.

When the shadows come a stealing
stay a little closer to me,
let me share each lonely feeling
stay a little closer to me.
If I should ever love you,
what would I do.
This dreary world would
not be worth going thro'
till at last the storms are over
stay a little closer to me.

When we're apart, dear,
I'm oh so blue,
I'm thinking of you
all the night through,
when we're together
my skies are clear,
I want you always with me, dear.

When the shadows come a stealing
stay a little closer to me,
let me share each lonely feeling
stay a little closer to me.
If I should ever love you,
what would I do.
This dreary world would
not be worth going thro'
till at last the storms are over
stay a little closer to me.

When the shadows come a stealing
stay a little closer to me,
let me share each lonely feeling
stay a little closer to me.
If I should ever love you,
what would I do.
This dreary world would
not be worth going thro'
till at last the storms are over
stay a little closer to me.
