Stay For Awhile
© 2018 Kenny Leverett

There’s a bluebird hangs round my door
Don’t know why he’s singing
I’m not blue anymore
I’ve forgotten the heartache I knew
He doesn’t belong here
With his point of view

I know I dreamed you
From some time before
Lost in the moment
I can never be sure
With those blue eyes
And that beautiful smile
You don’t belong here
But stay for awhile

Maybe tomorrow
Will bring some good news
Here in these four walls
It’s long overdue
Your ghost sings sweetly
Somewhere down the miles
You don’t belong here now
But stay for awhile

Really nice work on this one Love the vocals here, and the lyrics are powerful and relatable too. Perfectly catchy as well - this is the kind of tune I'd imagine sounding great in a live setting.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

Kenny,

This is a great lyric. Very well written. It is also a beautifully worked backing track. Everything about this clicked for me. Good vocal, as well. Enjoyed listening. Thanks for sharing.

Dave

What a beautiful song!

I love these lyrics,

Yeah the Gentle style is really cool.

You did a wonderful job with this. Great chord progression and vocals.

"Maybe tomorrow

Wow!

Janice immediately commented on the nice piano and the lovely lyric and melody.

We often comment on how powerful your writes are with so relatively few words. Just the right ones and nothing more.

And you know we're long time fans of your vocals and productions.

Nice!!

Kenny

Really nice song - lovely lyric, pretty tune, and a very impressive "demo".
Excellent work.

Peter

Very nice tune Kenny. Your vocal was exceptional on this song. Really lovely lyrics. I loved the piano. Nice back track..

Kenny, this is your best to date. Your vocal is very strong and those backing tracks are super. The piano and cello fit perfectly.

Kenny,

I love hearing your songs. Or more accurately...you singing your songs. You have a "star quality" that defies description.

The lyrics are always good. The melodies are always good.

Always good.

Kenny,

That`s some demo on a very good song!
Sweet and sad, with your unmistakeable voice making every word count.
Excellent arrangement; nothing needs adding.

Robert

Demo? Sounds pretty complete to me

Great stuff Kenny, love the lyrics and your vocal is always special.

Wonderful ballade! Engaging and inspired!

Thanks for sharing!

Nice work Kenny and we also like the Gentle style.

MESMERIZING!!! Absolutely beautiful song!! Love everything about it. Vocal is incredibly moving. A masterpiece!! Take care. Greg

P.S. Gonna have to check out that RT style.

Kenny, boy did Floyd nail this! I know this is a work in progress, but you certainly have a very solid foundation for something great! Thanks, Torrey

Kenny, I also think this may be your best to date. I like everything about this one. Terrific write, great job on the vocals, and the backing is excellent.

Really like this one!

Steve

Kenny, what really struck me other than than the outstanding vocal performance and beautiful melody was the unique chord progression. The mix was also top notch. Great job, Tom

A lovely Pink Floyesque melody.
Cool lyric and a nice gentle arrangement - well done.

Hello, Kenny

Very nice song!
I love this chord progression very much.
Especially it is very good to go from F to Cm at the beginning of the melody.
Your vocal is very strong as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Kenny,

It's always a fabulous treat to listen to you music. Your vocals are to die for and your composing is stellar. Love the progression on this one. Not sure what else to say except - thank you for the musical gift.

Alan

(sorry, I've been off the grid for a week and a half)

Thanks Deryk,

I always appreciate your listen and kind words

Hey Dave,

thanks, I'm loving your songs

Thank you David,

I appreciate those very kind words

Thanks guys!

as I am a big fan of ya'lls music
I'm playing some catch-up here, I look forward to hearing your new one.

Thanks Peter,

appreciate your listen and kind words, I put "demo" because I wanted to post this

before going on vacation and had been thinking about adding a violin or something similar

in the solo part and a possible harmony on the last lines of the verses. Now I think I'll

let it stay as is.

Scott,

Thank you, you're always very supportive

your kind words mean a lot

Mario, you always say that

hopefully I am getting a little better each time

but if not I appreciate your very kind words

thank you floyd

Thank you Robert

Thanks Dave,

I thought about working in some violin, but I like the cello as is.

Beautiful song Kenny!!!

Thanks Lawrence,

means a lot from you

Thanks Rob and Anne

Thanks Greg,

I always appreciate your kind words

Thank you Torrey,

appreciate your listen and kind words

Thank you Steve,

means a lot, you are a very talented musician

Thanks Tom,

glad that you liked the progression F to Cm in the first part of the verse.

I had many possible ways to go with the melody, I choose probably the

simplest that I could sing.

I appreciate your kind words always

Thanks Ray!

Thank you Shigeki,

You're absolutely right - F to Cm .I've never tried that progression before, at least that I remember. I appreciate your kind words.

Thank you Alan,

always love to hear from you

Thank you!

Nice song with a laid back track and easy feel, well done.

Thank you so much for the listen and kind words
