Sarah Vaughan Linger Awhile song lyrics

The time is coming soon to say goodbye

A time of sadness it will be

But, honey, listen to my parting sigh

And linger on awhile with me

The stars above you yet linger awhile

They whisper I love you; oh, linger awhile

And when you have gone away

Every hour seems like a day

I've something to tell you

Oh, linger awhile

The stars above you yet linger awhile

They whisper I love you; oh, linger awhile

And when you have gone away

Every hour seems like a day

I've something to tell you

Oh, linger awhile
