Lyrics

[松原みき「真夜中のドア / Stay With Me」歌詞]

[Intro]
To you
Yes, my love to you
Yes, my love to you, you
To you

[Verse 1]
私は私 貴方は貴方と
昨夜言ってた そんな気もするわ
グレイのジャケットに
見覚えがある コーヒーのしみ (Oh)
相変らずなのね
ショーウィンドウに 二人映れば (Oh)

[Chorus]
Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた (Oh)
あの季節が 今 目の前
Stay with me
口ぐせを言いながら
二人の瞬間を抱いて (Oh)
まだ忘れず 大事にしていた
[Verse 2]
恋と愛とは 違うものだよと
昨夜言われた そんな気もするわ
二度目の冬が来て
離れていった貴方の心 (Oh)
ふり返ればいつも
そこに 貴方を感じていたの (Oh)

[Chorus]
Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
心に穴があいた (Oh)
あの季節が 今 目の前
Stay with me
淋しさまぎらわして
置いたレコードの針 (Oh)
同じメロディ 繰り返していた

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた (Oh)
あの季節が 今 目の前
Stay with me
口ぐせを言いながら
二人の瞬間を抱いて (Oh)
まだ忘れず 暖めてた
Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた (Oh)
あの季節が 今 目の前
Stay with me
口ぐせを言いながら
二人の瞬間を抱いて (Oh)
まだ忘れず 暖めてた
[Outro]
Stay with me
真夜中のドアをたたき
帰らないでと泣いた (Oh)
あの季節が 今 目の前
Stay with me
(まだ忘れず 暖めてた)
