STAY THERE
Jule Styne (m) Gus Kahn (l)

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Buddy Bregman & his Orch  
Jan 25th 1956 Hollywood


Stay there!
Stay there!

Every time I'm in your arms, (in your arms)
My conscience says "Beware!",(beware)
But then my heart replies,
"Stay there, stay there, stay there!". (stay there)

Just as we're about to kiss, (about to kiss)
I wonder do I dare? (do I dare to?)
Again my heart replies'
"Stay there, stay there, stay there!".

What do I do when I wanna be by your side?
Follow my heart and let my conscience be my guide!

Maybe if you held me tight (held me tight)
And told me how you care, (how you care to)
I'd know my heart was right
And stay there, stay there, stay there!

What do I do when I wanna be by your side?
Follow my heart and let my conscience be my guide!

Maybe if you held me tight (held me tight)
And told me how you care, (how you care to)
I'd know my heart was right
And stay there, stay there, stay there! (stay there)
Stay in your arms, baby that's where!
