Stay with me
My love, I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side, if ever I need you
Oh my love

In your arms
I feel so safe and so secure
Every day is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you

I will follow you, will you follow me?
All the days and nights, that we know we’ll be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me?
Just one single tear, in each passing year

With the dark
Oh, I see so very clearly now
But all my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Aw, fading away

But I can say
The night is long, oh but you are here
Close at hand, oh, I'm better for the smile you give to me
And while I live I will

Follow you, will you follow me?
All the days and nights, that we know we'll be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me?
Just one single tear, in each passing year there will be

[Keyboard Solo (Tony Banks)]

I will follow you, will you follow me?
All the days and nights, that we know we’ll be
I will stay with you, will you stay with me?
Just one single tear, in each passing year

I will follow you, will you follow me?
All of the days and nights, that we know we'll be
I will stay with you, will you please stay with me?
Just one single tear, in each passing year

I will follow you, will you follow me?
All of the days and nights, that we know we'll be
I will stay with you, will you please stay with me?
Just one single tear, in each passing year
I will...

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
