STAY THE NIGHT

(Susan Casazza (m) / Norman Dolph (l) )

As sung by Jane Olivor 1978 < Stay The Night >

Feel I'm tryin' to swim the North Atlantic Ocean
I'm travelin' on a different kind of train
Heaven saves a place for fallen angels
I need someone to take me home again.

Stay the night, baby say you love me
Stay and love me, stay the night.
Stay the night, need you to need me
Say you need me, stay the night.

I'm livin' with a clock for a companion
And waitin' for the telephone, to cry
If you stay and love me 'till the mornin'
Maybe we won't ever say goodbye.

Stay the night, baby say you love me
Stay and love me, stay the night.
Stay the night, need you to need me
Say you need me, stay the night.

It takes a while, to know just where you're goin'
And sometimes you get lost along the way
And since I feel the need inside me growin'
I hope that you won't mind it when I say.

Stay the night, baby say you love me
Stay and love me, stay the night.
Stay the night, need you to need me
Say you need me, stay the night...

Stay the night.

Notes:

Jane Olivor, an American, was a popular cabaret 
singer but also performed at Carnegie Hall and 
other large venues in her career. She is perhaps 
best known for her duet with Johnny Mathis 
  The Last Time I Felt Like This


Jane Olivor was warmly followed by her fans 
throughout her performing years (1970s until 
2009, which encompassed a 10 year hiatus). 
During that time, her work comprised 10 albums, 
not a large number as compared to other artists, 
however they showcased a surprising poignancy, 
emotion and vulnerability in her crisp, clear voice. 
Many who attended these cabarets felt that she had 
great stage presence, a touching style and a very 
personable way of connecting with her audiences, 
that endeared her to them forever. It has been said 
that Jane was one of those unique performers that, 
had you not been a Jane Olivor fan at the outset of 
her performance, it was impossible that you would 
not be, by the time she was finished. One of the 
USA's national newspapers referred to her intimate 
cabaret appearances as 'love ins'.
