“Stay With Me.” Happy Valentine’s Day.

Stay With Me

Happy Valentine’s Day to my love, Maria and to you and to anyone who values the power and meaning of love, a human right, a human need. On this Valentine’s day, I bend my knee in gratitude for love, I did not ever give up on it, and it came to me, it was right across the street. If you do not give up on love, it will find you.

 

Should my heart not

be humble,

Should my eyes fail to see,

Should my feet sometimes stumble,

On the way, stay with me.

Comes the darkness

and the frost

I get lost,

I grow cold.

I grow cold,

I grow weary,

And I know I have sinned,

And I go, seeking shelter,

And I cry in the wind,

Although I grope and blunder

And I’m weak and I’m wrong.

Though the road buckles under

Where I walk, walk along,

Till I find to my wonder

Every path leads to Thee

All that I can do is pray

Stay with me,

Stay with me.”

Sung by Bob Dylan, lyrics by Leigh, Carolyn, Moss, Jerome.
