Stay with Me may refer to:
"Stay with Me" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure. It was released as the lead single from their self-titled, seventh studio album (Erasure). The track is a slow love ballad written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. Starting with simple synth chords from Clarke and subdued vocal from Bell, "Stay With Me" builds to a mid-tempo gospel-influenced conclusion, complete with vocal contributions from the London Community Gospel Choir. Like the other two singles from this album, it was edited for its release as a single. The single's B-side, "True Love Wars", is an extension of the Erasure album opener "Intro: Guess I'm Into Feeling". Both tracks use the same instrumental track and share several vocal elements, although they are different songs.
Upon its release "Stay With Me" was not as successful as prior Erasure singles. The song reached number fifteen on the UK singles chart and did not chart in the United States or Germany.
In an interview with John Marshall from Lincs FM in 2009 Andy stated it was one of his favourite Erasure songs.
(feat. Da Coalition)
She’s afraid of being alone
My touch changes all the loneliness away
Tells me that she is cold
And I shouldn’t go
She’s crying ‘n’ beggin’ now
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
For the night, for the night
For the night, for the night
For the night
Night, night, night, night
Night, night, night, night
Stay, please stay
Stay, stay
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of being alone
My touch changes all the loneliness away
Tells me that she is cold
And I shouldn’t go
She’s crying ‘n’ beggin’ now
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of the dark
Stay with me, stay with me for the night
She’s afraid of the dark
