Sit Down Beside Me Lyrics

Sit down beside me and stay awhile
Let our hearts do their parts
With wine and words to meet the hours
So the day never starts

'Cause that's what I want
That's what we need
'Cause that's who we are
'Cause that's what we need

Sit down beside me and stay awhile
I don't want to waste my time
Till we're old and grey
Till we've got nothing left to say

'Cause that's who we are
That's what we need
'Cause that's who we are
That's what we need

That's what we need
'Cause that's who we are
That's what we need

How long, lady love
You couldn't talk to me now
How long, lady love
You couldn't talk to me now
And stay awhile

How long, lady love
You couldn't talk to me now
And stay awhile

Sit down beside me and stay awhile
Till the night runs away
Till the morning rises and we part away
Till the end of our days

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
