[Verse One]
I'd do anything
To hold you
I'd go anywhere
To touch you
I'd do anything
You want me to

[Chorus]
If you'll just
Stay
With me awhile

[Verse Two]
I'd sing
Any song
Your heart desires
I would sing out loud of love's sweet fires
Oo, I'd do all this and so much more

[Chorus]
If you'll just
Stay
With me awhile

[Bridge]
Reach out your hand
Oh, to me
Oh, I'm falling
One minute
More
I'm falling
I'm falling

Oh, oh
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling

[Outro]
Won't you just
Stay
With me awhile?

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
