I was just moments ago, skimming the obits on Wikipedia, when I saw a Canadian singer/songwriter by the name of Ken Tobias, age 79, had passed today, Oct. 02, 2024. It listed this song, and I wasn't sure if it was the same one that I remembered. So, naturally, I came here to see if it was. It was one and the same. The Bells sang it perfectly! Thank you, Ken Tobias, for sharing your soul with the world. You were truly Blessed with a Gift and the world was Blessed to have heard a peace of your soul. RIP!
Yes, this song was popular when I was a kid and I always liked it. Only later in life did I learn that Ken Tobias had written it. Ken was from my hometown in Canada and was a dear friend of one of my old buddies from high school, who has taken his loss hard. R.I.P., Mr. Tobias.
OMG, 55 years later, this song is as beautiful and romantic as ever! This is a timeless classic that will live on and be loved for generations to come with the singing and lovely background instrumentation along with the lyrics. Thank you Bells for this cherished song! 🥰
I met the most beautiful girl I ever saw as a senior in highschool she was in tenth grade. But I was married and not happy. Well I blew it and only saw her a few times over the past 50 years. I was playing our song, save it for me by the four seasons and I left a comment about her 6 weeks ago. I was in a deep depression and on my way to the end of life. Somehow she knew in her heart I needed help and placed an APB online and my little brother saw it and called me then a friend of mine sent her my phone number and she called me. I was so nervous but I went to see her and as I rounded a curve in her driveway I saw her and I was instantly in love all over again and we are together now and forever. It amazes me that she kept me in her heart all those years and still loves me like nothing else in the world and I love her like nothing I can explain.
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written and performed! It seems like 1971 was yesterday, how did we get to 2023 so fast!? We were young and innocent with our whole life ahead of us, where has the time gone!?😢 To all the wonderful memories and amazing days we thought would last forever!❤
This is indeed a beautiful song. may I suggest the version sung by Teresa Carpio and George Lum?...tell me what you think!... th-cam.com/video/RB37QYZWvT4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TeresaCarpio
I agree Steve. One of the most beautiful love songs ever written It's timeless and so romantic. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it I'm on cloud nine lol
it was the first day of summer 1973 i just turn 17, my buddy threw a party in his parents basement everybody was having a good time, drinking, listening to great music then someone started playing this song on the stereo, then i saw this girl just standing there all alone, i summon all my courage and approach her, introduced myself then got to know her and we dance the night away. seems like a life time ago. god i long for those days.
Yes it was a great time to be a teenager. My girlfriend and I loved this song. Im a year old than you, by 5 Oct 73, I was at boot camp Parris Island. Boy I really missed her..... it was a fun time to be a teenager. Miss those days.
This excellent song is one of those which proves why music in the seventies of last Century was so good. Not only is it very well sung and played with real feeling but the voices of the singers are convincing and one feels they are saying just what they feel. And the harmonica adds a nice touch. One of those timeless tunes that are good to hear anytime anyplace whenever one has time to do it.
This was the last song my mom sang for my dad before she died. It's her 13th day in heaven now. Everytime I play this song, it reminds me of her beautiful voice and smile. I love her so much
One of the best songs from the sexy 70s!! They stopped refusing to play suggestive music back then! Being newlywed in '72, we celebrated our 50th anniversary this year! ☺️💕 And wow! We really enjoyed these 70s songs!
Montreal's own THE BELLS Just ran into the male singer Cliff Edwards in a Kingston Ontario 🇨🇦 hospital Xray waiting room. Had a lovely chat with this wonderful man (now 81 y/o) He's doing well and still performing in the Gananoque area. I recall their songs 🎵 as part of the younger me soundtrack. January 2023
This song was popular when I met (and married) my late husband in Toronto in 1971. Sure brings back bittersweet memories. Yes, we did "stay awhile" - 44 years: March 10, 1971 to August 8, 2015. Thanks for posting this song.
Beautiful love song that describes so well, what we feel during intimacy, without vulgarity or dirty words. One of my favorites through the years. The video is very well made too, so it is a joy to watch whilst listening and remember so many things.
I first heard this song when I was 6 or 7, in the mid 60’s. I used to scour the record aisles in the 80’s and 90’s for this song. To have it at my fingertips at 62 gives me a sense of nostalgia that I thought only people in the 40’s/50’s knew!
TH-cam is so sweet for looking up old classics. I'm younger, but my parents had the oldies radio on growing up, and these are classics as much for me too!
Coincidence. i’m also 62 and remember the song from when i was a kid. i didn’t know there was a cover of it but it was playing at McDonalds at 6 AM when I was getting coffee. It kinda stopped me in my tracks I remember seeing them sing it on TV. Here’s to childhood. Cheers.
I can understand how you feel since I was 17 when I discovered this song back in 1970 on the radio.......and I still LOVE it today at the age of 69. Did you discover this song only recently?
@@DougCeleste I discovered this sweet song two years ago at age 56. I've never found a life situation like this but I am glad others have. I am a hopeless romantic type who looked around til I found the original album and bought it.
@@shiroibasketshoes Thanks for sharing your thoughts and so glad you discovered this memorable song just two years ago. I was 17 when this song came out in 1970 and it was a HUGE hit not only in this country but in other countries, also. Like you, I am also "a hopeless romantic" and have known a couple of wonderful women in my life but never married. Glad you found the original album that had this song. (The "B"-side of the "Stay Awhile" 45 record was another fine song called "Sing A Song Of Freedom" which should have also been released as a single and I think it is also on the original album you have.)
@@DougCeleste Thank you for the nice reply. I don’t know why I apparently never heard “Stay Awhile” on the AM / pop / oldies stations growing up; it reached #7 here in the US. I was 6 when it came out and my parents weren’t giving me radio to listen to yet. I’m glad you found a couple of wonderful women. I’ve never married either. Wikipedia indicates “Sing a A Song Of Freedom” was never a single, but is on my album. I think every song I’ve heard of my The Bells is great. My The Bells “Fly, Little White Dove, Fly” album I found at a collector’s shop was still sealed, though with a cutout corner. I want to buy more The Bells music if I can find the records in good enough condition. I never was able to get a CD of them but I plan to try again. I also have albums of The Bells member Frank Mills. I promoted “Stay Awhile” twice on my social media, using halves of the song and changing lyrics to be between a rabbit and model dressed as a cat…I wish I could show you, but I think youtube doesn’t like links or mention of the name of my social media.
@@shiroibasketshoes GREAT reply and thanks for sharing! I received my transistor radio as a Christmas gift in 1964 (the year you were born) when I was just 11 and OMG, that present from my dear parents that cost only a couple of bucks turned out to be the most priceless and influential gift of my lifetime! I hope your parents also gave you one as a gift when you got older. I have been listening to this memorable song from 1970 more and more in the past week or two and it gives me goosebumps since I appreciate and love it more now and it brings back so many nice memories of that time for me when I was a senior in high school in San Jose, CA. which was where I was born and raised. Glad you found the album sealed and I assume it is in stereo. "Sing A Song Of Freedom" was another song I liked from the album but "Stay Awhile" is The Bells' "Signature Song" that they will be most remembered for. I should try to listen to their other songs. Finally, Frank Mills left the group before "Stay Awhile" became a hit. Rock on!
I miss my late wife everytime I hear this song,am a widower for 8years now, though its not our theme song,it gives me the feeling of missing her and I love her so much ❤️
I first heard this song on the radio, when I was 5 years old in 1971, as we used to drive to pick up my dad from work (he was doing his medical residency at the University of Minnesota.. We lived in St Paul then. It was one of the nicest childhood memories for me.
Love this song . . . a bit risque back in the day:) Still have these feelings for my husband (we've been together since we were 15 - 1969!). Just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary and I still feel 17 every time I look at him . . ..
This is One of the most beautiful songs...I heard! I had two beautiful children made w that song in the background... Thank you CANADA. I HAD THE PLEASURE TO LIVE IN NOVA SCOTIA AND IN VICTORIA ISLAND,...
The kind of beautiful song where you close your eyes and just think of that long lost special love...and if you don't shed a tear then you have a heart of stone.....And why anyone gives this song thumbs down is beyond me.....Some people have no soul.
The way the girl pronounces "I am going to stay with him awhile" is so warm it's enough to melt the ice in any heart. It is just one of the beauties this song has, it makes one feel.
I like the sexy and heart-felt way the singers sing this song. Their voices are excellent and the harmonica adds a personal, sexy feeling to the song. Timeless, it is still good to hear and enjoy.
I was a freshman in college, back in 1972, when I first heard this song, it's so nice, sweet and quite very good to the ears.And it'sonly now again that I've encountered it..I feel very young again.
Although released 48 years ago this song is still great to hear as it makes me remember how being in love when one is young is. One quivers from emotion when sharing intimacy with one's lover as the song says. And that feeling of our spirit leaving partially our body and getting entangled with that of our lover is something worth to remember.
This tune reminds me of my 1st wife. She passed away far too young 40 years ago and I still cry when I hear this song. I am reminded of how much I loved her and how I miss her still. Funny how a song so beautiful can make one so sad...
I finally found this theme so sought after by me and so representative of a beautiful time that passed. Although it was not heard much in Argentina, it struck me as soon as I heard it for the first time and I recorded it to listen to it a thousand times later. How well sung, how well interpreted, what magnificent lyrics, everything with subtlety, delicate, nothing tawdry. Describe and paint a great love scene in the way we have experienced it when we were young. (I am now 72) Since those years I have not heard him again, despite searching for him by land and sea, because I did not know his name. Luckily today, he became part of my life again
Simply beautiful. This song indicates how sharing intimacy with our lover is with elegance and good taste. No dirty words and the voices of the singers are very sexy and great to hear. The lyrics through simple really hit the point. So it is a very good song to hear.
This one is one of the best love songs which describes our sensations whilst sharing intimacy without recurring to vulgarity. What spoils so many songs today is the vulgar horrible words they use. Not so with this song which is tender sounding and with good English. And the sexy voices of the singers make one feel they really mean what they say.
Just discovering this song myself. Came up in my feed. Very glad it did. Beautiful song of intimacy. 21 years together and my wife still does this to me.
I remember I bought this single in Toronto when I graduated from high school. they played this song in high school dances. Had dinner with my high school friends in a restaurant and they told me that the Bells had performed this song in that restaurant. those good old days.
LOVE this video and the lyrics! Thanks for sharing, Rachel! It was 1970 and I was a senior in high school in San Jose, CA. when this VERY romantic song came out with the most passionately sung voices I have EVER heard in a song! I also LOVE the soft and mellow background music, especially the harmonica, which greatly adds to the beauty of this memorable song. OMG, it seems like only yesterday when I was that young teen looking for romance like in this song. 💋💋
I like the spontaneous way the singers sing this song which describes those deep feelings in intimacy many of us like me have felt when being with our lover, without recurring to vulgarity or profanity. Beautiful and elegantly performed with just nice clean language.
I first heard this when In was a senior in college - 1971. Really liked it but somehow lost track of it. I had it in my head all last night for some reason, googled it today (10/5) and placed an Amazon order for the CD. I have listened to the TH-cam video all day since finding it and will probably do so again until the CD arrives. Brings back good memories!
I was a freshman in college. I am a Christian and dated a Jewish girl. This was our song. I love the way it was broken in 4 ways the first verse was the woman's voice. The second verse was the man's turn. The third part was just the harmonica. Like lovers at time she speaks, other times its the male and there are moments when there's silence and then you both whisper words of love together. The 4th verse they both sing together. Like college me and Phyllis and Judy Klein were close then Fran Greenfield. We knew that at the end of 4 years we would go our separate ways. Back in the early 70s we were rebellious when it came to friendships with people outside your religion or race but few ended in lifelong lasting relationships but the memories are priceless and forever. Like the song about :45 seconds each verse for a perfect 3:00 minute song that may be over but the memory of it lasts a lifetime 🎶 ❤ P.S. I found the girl of my dreams in my early 60s and she was in her late 50s. We are both Christians and have both mixed racial backround with White and Native American. She said she dreamt of meeting someone that looked like me as a little girl. I found the love of a lifetime. We both love this song and put ourselves into this storyline. We have been together 7 lucky years. It shows that some things are worth waiting for. 👨 👩 🎶 🙏 ❤
Una de esas canciones que uno no se cansa de escuchar, tan tiernamente cantada con las voces tan sexy de los cantantes y con un mensaje tan significativo y tan real que describe muy bien lo que uno siente al compartir la intimidad con su amada, en forma elegante y limpia. Una de mis favoritas por casi 50 años ahora.
Por fin encontré este tema tan buscado por mi y tan representativo de una época hermosa que pasó. Si bien en la Argentina no se escuchó mucho, a mi me impactó ni bien lo escuché por primera vez y lo grabé para escucharlo mil veces después. Que bien cantado, que bien interpretado, qué letra magnifica, todo con sutileza, delicado, nada de chabacano. Describe y pinta una grandiosa escena de amor en la forma en que lo hemos vivido nosotros cuando fuimos jóvenes. (tengo ya 72) Desde aquellos años no lo volvi a escuchar, pese a buscarlo por tierra y mar, debido a que no conocía su nombre. Hoy por suerte, volvió a formar parte de mi vida
The sexy way in which the girl whispers "I guess I am gonna stay" at the end of the song is a very nice touch to this love song. The whole song sounds spontaneous with nothing forced as if sung by someone who is simply expressing her and his feelings. Because of that it is a beautiful song really it reaches the top effortlessly and manages to stay there despite the forty four years that have gone since it was released.
Not only a very good song very well sung by the sensual singers but the harmonica adds to it a special sexy touch too. One of my favorites since I rediscovered it here. I wonder why can't we have popular music like this now when everything is just noise and endless repetitions of the same thing over and over.
Dear Rachel you always chose the best from d past .This song is one of lovely beautiful songs of old days .Nice memories beautiful .Thank you for d memories
One of the nicest love songs I have ever heard and one I had forgotten from so many years of not hearing it. What I like is real love is like that it makes us quiver and smile. And we wish to stay with our lover forever if possible. Very nice to hear again and enjoy it once more.
there are songs that simply puts a smile on your face when you hear it as it instantly brings back fond memories of yesteryears. tnx for posting this song.
Strange I never heard any other song performed by this fantastic group: the Bells, but this one is so good and brings to me so many happy remembrances I still like to hear it nearly five decades later. Timeless and awesome really and accompannied by a very well made video.
One of those beautiful songs which trascend the time in which they were performed. Timeless really this is still good to hear and enjoy. The voices of both singers are so natural and sexy one feels they really mean what they are saying. One of my favorites of all time.
I guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile.I remember that words to my wife during I'm visiting in her house in San Andres manila.I still favorite this song thanks sa nag upload nito
It took me 20 years to know the title of the song!! First time hearing is when I was 7. I come a country which doesn’t use English as its first language, that’s why it took that long. Thank you to “google search a song”. Really made my day :)
One of the most beautiful love songs I have ever listened. I like the lyrics and the tenderness with twhich bolh singers sing it. It has passed the test of time, NS IS STIl good to listen and enjoy.
Although performed forty plus years ago this song is always up to date as love is eternal really. I might be old now but my children are young and may pass through experiences like the song says whilst I remember them. One of the most beautiful songs describing intimacy I have ever heard with decent nice words and no vulgarity.

I don't know! I would rather be back there.
So true Steve hope your life is ok. With so much craziness
This is indeed a beautiful song. may I suggest the version sung by Teresa Carpio and George Lum?...tell me what you think!...

It's timeless and so romantic. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it I'm on cloud nine lol
@@paulinatorres151 Absolutely 💯 ❤️
Forgot all about this song, until I heard it the other day. I Love this song. How I miss the 70's.
it was the first day of summer 1973 i just turn 17, my buddy threw a party in his parents basement everybody was having a good time, drinking, listening to great music then someone started playing this song on the stereo, then i saw this girl just standing there all alone, i summon all my courage and approach her, introduced myself then got to know her and we dance the night away. seems like a life time ago. god i long for those days.
Yes it was a great time to be a teenager. My girlfriend and I loved this song. Im a year old than you, by 5 Oct 73, I was at boot camp Parris Island. Boy I really missed her..... it was a fun time to be a teenager. Miss those days.
In the '70's I thought my name was Jesus Christ.
I miss my late wife everytime I hear this song, I'm a widower for 9 years now and I love her so much.
Was in my 20s when I heard this song.Beautiful
memories.Played it on my
harmonica.❤❤❤it.79 now.How time flies.
I turned 17 in the summer of ‘73 too.

This was the last song my mom sang for my dad before she died. It's her 13th day in heaven now. Everytime I play this song, it reminds me of her beautiful voice and smile. I love her so much
So sad. Your Mother had great taste in music. This was a very popular song.
Awww. That's special. And my condolences. God be with you
What a beautiful way to say good bye to her husband. I envy him.
💖
love it. So nice to repeat it again and again.
70's were special and the music was like no other.
There was the 60's... But no other since then
Met Jackie Ralph around 1980. Great performer, amazing voice, and a good friend!
I love Jackie forever
One of the best songs from the sexy 70s!! They stopped refusing to play suggestive music back then! Being newlywed in '72, we celebrated our 50th anniversary this year! ☺️💕 And wow! We really enjoyed these 70s songs!
The Sin sensational 70s.
❤
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. How can you not feel better after having listened to it?
Agreed
Definitely.
RIP Ken Tobias....you wrote a beautiful song....

This song can give me more grateful when I'm going to sleep and also when I heared this music..I could still remember the memories when I was young
This song described the beauty of loving and being loved in return.
I agreeeeeeeeeee ❤

It was actually released in 1971,I was a 7th grader & the only one among my peers who liked it.
That's interesting. It came out in 1971.
Just can't stop playing this song again and again after I discovered this very sweet song. 😊

Bring me back to 35 years ago while I'm listening to this love song .
Wonderful song for all the lonely and romantic souls on earth !

This is probably the only song I've retained with such clarity over the years. Reminds me of the passion I once shared with a woman.
THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL.THEY DID A REAL GOOD JOB ON THIS. LOVE HOW THEY SUNG THIS SONG AND HOW THEY SID THE VIDEO. IT IS A REAL CLASSIC LOVE SONG
This is One of the most beautiful songs...I heard! I had two beautiful children made w that song in the background... Thank you CANADA. I HAD THE PLEASURE TO LIVE IN NOVA SCOTIA AND IN VICTORIA ISLAND,...

Wow, perfect wedding song.
Still unfading...love this song much since when I was young.. thank you Rachel for sharing.
You're welcome :-)
The way the girl pronounces "I am going to stay with him awhile" is so warm it's enough to melt the ice in any heart. It is just one of the beauties this song has, it makes one feel.
Spring really sprung in 1971 when this was played on the radio especially back to back with "If" by Bread!
If, by Bread, is my fave song (with lyrics) of all time! ‘Clouds’ is also fantastic! ❤️🎼❤️
This song still brings tears to my eyes even after all these years.
I like the sexy and heart-felt way the singers sing this song. Their voices are excellent and the harmonica adds a personal, sexy feeling to the song. Timeless, it is still good to hear and enjoy.
I still listen in 2023, the whole album "Stay Awhile" by The Bells was good. "Fly Little White Dove Fly" was my favorite.
What a beautiful song. My heart is so big listening to it. ❤
I remember my father playing this song in his old wooden turntable, back in 1972. I was 7 y.o. ... I miss you dad !
***** Thanks !
LibertyZone777 your dad had great taste in music. The 70s were a wonderful time. I'd stay in the 70s for ever.
I was a freshman in college, back in 1972, when I first heard this song, it's so nice, sweet and quite very good to the ears.And it'sonly now again that I've encountered it..I feel very young again.
I miss my dad too😭
I miss my dad desperately. He has passed away for 40 years but the respect and feel with him never fade.
Classic, unforgettable music.
So true!!!
Although released 48 years ago this song is still great to hear as it makes me remember how being in love when one is young is. One quivers from emotion when sharing intimacy with one's lover as the song says. And that feeling of our spirit leaving partially our body and getting entangled with that of our lover is something worth to remember.
50 now
Wow, you said it so beautifully.
Yes
This tune reminds me of my 1st wife. She passed away far too young 40 years ago and I still cry when I hear this song. I am reminded of how much I loved her and how I miss her still. Funny how a song so beautiful can make one so sad...
Sorry for your loss....
I know the feeling lost my wife at age 52
Condolences Always... May GOD rest her in peace...
Mickey Munro I get the same wonderful feelings from this song. GOD BLESS YOU 💜🌼🕆
Mickey Munro, hello, this song does the same thing to me, it always will ❤💋
The Bells were one of my favorite groups from the early 1970's. They sang at our college homecoming.
Takes me back to great times and people. Thanks Rachel.
+Steve Frandsen You're welcome :-)
This is why the 70s were so great. Love to stay in the 70s.
My Gentle Pitt Bull that's the truth. Nothing like the 70's
The era of great songs...
My Gentle Pitt Bull I would love to go back
Rolando C. Cruz Only the best ppl really were different
My Gentle Pitt Bull I would like to join you the 70’s we’re awesome the music memorable
a simple lyric .... a simple tune .... yet strikes deepest into one's heart .... brings back a lot of happy and sad memories ....thank you for posting
I finally found this theme so sought after by me and so representative of a beautiful time that passed. Although it was not heard much in Argentina, it struck me as soon as I heard it for the first time and I recorded it to listen to it a thousand times later. How well sung, how well interpreted, what magnificent lyrics, everything with subtlety, delicate, nothing tawdry. Describe and paint a great love scene in the way we have experienced it when we were young. (I am now 72) Since those years I have not heard him again, despite searching for him by land and sea, because I did not know his name. Luckily today, he became part of my life again
Simply beautiful. This song indicates how sharing intimacy with our lover is with elegance and good taste. No dirty words and the voices of the singers are very sexy and great to hear. The lyrics through simple really hit the point. So it is a very good song to hear.
I searched for this for so many years. It is every bit as beautiful as I remembered
This one is one of the best love songs which describes our sensations whilst sharing intimacy without recurring to vulgarity. What spoils so many songs today is the vulgar horrible words they use. Not so with this song which is tender sounding and with good English. And the sexy voices of the singers make one feel they really mean what they say.
Agree, beautifully said.
Just discovering this song myself. Came up in my feed. Very glad it did. Beautiful song of intimacy. 21 years together and my wife still does this to me.
@@danamarie2068 You are dead wrong I saw the girl in one singing this video and she is grown up, she has a baby like voice but she is not underage
One of most intimate songs… one of my
favorites
Right, exactly, you must pretty young but welcome to the age BEFORE our society was dragged down into the vulgarity gutter being 'normalized'.
I said this a long time ago about the word "quiver". What a word for a love song & smile. Its the truth. Just quiver. Great song!
I was a server in Ottawa (The Stillery) in Vanier (Ontario). I love her beautiful angelic voice! They packed the place!
My mom told me her sister and her used to play this song on repeat using the record player when they were small. Reminds me of mom ❤
I remember I bought this single in Toronto when I graduated from high school. they played this song in high school dances. Had dinner with my high school friends in a restaurant and they told me that the Bells had performed this song in that restaurant. those good old days.
Rest in peace, Ken. Thank you for this song
LOVE this video and the lyrics! Thanks for sharing, Rachel! It was 1970 and I was a senior in high school in San Jose, CA. when this VERY romantic song came out with the most passionately sung voices I have EVER heard in a song! I also LOVE the soft and mellow background music, especially the harmonica, which greatly adds to the beauty of this memorable song. OMG, it seems like only yesterday when I was that young teen looking for romance like in this song. 💋💋
I like the spontaneous way the singers sing this song which describes those deep feelings in intimacy many of us like me have
felt when being with our lover, without recurring to vulgarity or profanity. Beautiful and elegantly performed with just nice clean language.
I first heard this when In was a senior in college - 1971. Really liked it but somehow lost track of it. I had it in my head all last night for some reason, googled it today (10/5) and placed an Amazon order for the CD. I have listened to the TH-cam video all day since finding it and will probably do so again until the CD arrives. Brings back good memories!

Good sir
I was a freshman in college. I am a Christian and dated a Jewish girl. This was our song. I love the way it was broken in 4 ways the first verse was the woman's voice. The second verse was the man's turn. The third part was just the harmonica. Like lovers at time she speaks, other times its the male and there are moments when there's silence and then you both whisper words of love together. The 4th verse they both sing together. Like college me and Phyllis and Judy Klein were close then Fran Greenfield. We knew that at the end of 4 years we would go our separate ways. Back in the early 70s we were rebellious when it came to friendships with people outside your religion or race but few ended in lifelong lasting relationships but the memories are priceless and forever. Like the song about :45 seconds each verse for a perfect 3:00 minute song that may be over but the memory of it lasts a lifetime 🎶 ❤
P.S. I found the girl of my dreams in my early 60s and she was in her late 50s. We are both Christians and have both mixed racial backround with White and Native American. She said she dreamt of meeting someone that looked like me as a little girl. I found the love of a lifetime. We both love this song and put ourselves into this storyline. We have been together 7 lucky years. It shows that some things are worth waiting for. 👨 👩 🎶 🙏 ❤
A lovely gentle song. Greetings from Scotland.
I was in the 7th grade when this was released.I was the only one among my peers who liked it.
Stay Awhile is the best song ever. They both have beautiful voicesits got fantastic lyrics and the way they sing it is Romantic.🌟🌟🌟🌹🌹🌹💞💖💖💖

My favorit songs with special memories ❤
....please stay coz the world is a lonely place.....thanks to the lovely lady again for posting another lovely song....i'm your fan...
Manuel Felicia Thank you :-)
***** my pleasure...
Una de esas canciones que uno no se cansa de escuchar, tan tiernamente cantada con las voces tan sexy de los cantantes y con un mensaje tan significativo y tan real que describe muy bien lo que uno siente al compartir la intimidad con su amada, en forma elegante y limpia. Una de mis favoritas por casi 50 años ahora.
Por fin encontré este tema tan buscado por mi y tan representativo de una época hermosa que pasó. Si bien en la Argentina no se escuchó mucho, a mi me impactó ni bien lo escuché por primera vez y lo grabé para escucharlo mil veces después. Que bien cantado, que bien interpretado, qué letra magnifica, todo con sutileza, delicado, nada de chabacano. Describe y pinta una grandiosa escena de amor en la forma en que lo hemos vivido nosotros cuando fuimos jóvenes. (tengo ya 72) Desde aquellos años no lo volvi a escuchar, pese a buscarlo por tierra y mar, debido a que no conocía su nombre. Hoy por suerte, volvió a formar parte de mi vida
Such a beautiful, soothing, sensual song...
Been decades since I heard this romantic song..... Thanks for posting!! Love the memories!
You're welcome :-)
The sexy way in which the girl whispers "I guess I am gonna stay" at the end of the song is a very nice touch to this love song. The whole song sounds spontaneous with nothing forced as if sung by someone who is simply expressing her and his feelings. Because of that it is a beautiful song really it reaches the top effortlessly and manages to stay there despite the forty four years that have gone since it was released.
I remember this song when i am in the high school day and i share it this days to my dear friend
This song still gives me chills every time I hear it. Love is good
listening to your list of songs is like riding a time traveling vehicle. it brings me to a generation where melodies are song from the heart.
Not only a very good song very well sung by the sensual singers but the harmonica adds to it a special sexy touch too. One of my favorites since I rediscovered it here. I wonder why can't we have popular music like this now when everything is just noise and endless repetitions of the same thing over and over.
It brings back old beautiful memories!.
Wonderful. Sometimes I grieve for those days. This track soothes a tired heart. Thank you for posting. It has certainly made my evening.
You're welcome :-)

So soft and tender! The days of great music! ♥️🎶♥️
What else càn you expect from such a beautiful song
One of the nicest love songs I have ever heard and one I had forgotten from so many years of not hearing it. What I like is real love is like that it makes us quiver and smile. And we wish to stay with our lover forever if possible. Very nice to hear again and enjoy it once more.
Beautiful song. Very well written as well as performed.
there are songs that simply puts a smile on your face when you hear it as it instantly brings back fond memories of yesteryears. tnx for posting this song.
You're welcome :-)
a very beautiful song, one of my favorites. thank you so much for downloading.... God Bless us all.
+blynce chem You're welcome :-) God bless!
Strange I never heard any other song performed by this fantastic group: the Bells, but this one is so good and brings to me so many happy remembrances I still like to hear it nearly five decades later. Timeless and awesome really and accompannied by a very well made video.
One of those beautiful songs which trascend the time in which they were performed. Timeless really this is still good to hear and enjoy. The voices of both singers are so natural and sexy one feels they really mean what they are saying. One of my favorites of all time.
70’s the best...
This song is so beautiful. It actually just made my day ! God bless this !
I guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile.I remember that words to my wife during I'm visiting in her house in San Andres manila.I still favorite this song thanks sa nag upload nito
You're welcome :-)
It took me 20 years to know the title of the song!! First time hearing is when I was 7. I come a country which doesn’t use English as its first language, that’s why it took that long. Thank you to “google search a song”. Really made my day :)
I love this:) It is such a beautiful song:) Remember it when it was popular:) I was around 12 or 13:) I am guessing around 1971 or 1972:)
O.o Huh?
I always thought it was just "Women" who "Quiver" ^_^
Spring 1971.
Kim Micohn spot on
This song is about the most softly sung song i have heard. These two did an excellent job on it.
I love this song. Its in my mind for many years.
One of the most beautiful love songs I have ever listened. I like the lyrics and the tenderness with twhich bolh singers sing it. It has passed the test of time, NS IS STIl good to listen and enjoy.
I heard this song in 1972 . so far i still love it
Timeless. All I can say. ⏳⌛️❤️🎧
Although performed forty plus years ago this song is always up to date as love is eternal really. I might be old now but my children are young and may pass through experiences like the song says whilst I remember them. One of the most beautiful songs describing intimacy I have ever heard with decent nice words and no vulgarity.
Not only a great song but it has an excellently made video to match it. So there is joy in hearing and watching.
First time I ever heard this song. Love it! Thanks for posting!
❤❤🎉🇺🇲🇰🇷💯❤️💙🌟💝
