Stay here don’t go
don’t leave just yet
let’s see the sun comes up
let’s see it slowly set.
Don’t go so soon
don’t leave so fast
stay here for now
let’s make it last.
Let’s wake to dazzlin’ dawns
clear above the mountains
Atop the hills we’ll call Ha’Shem
above our home Jerusalem.
Stay awhile
don’t rush to go
my heart has turned cold and dark
like shadows on white snow.
