[Verse 1] You leave your jacket on my chair A little rain still in your hair The kitchen clock forgets to move When you come in and cross the room
[Pre-Chorus] I was saving all my words Now they tumble out at once
[Chorus] Come close, corazón, stay awhile Turn this tired night around Your hand in mine, your crooked smile Is the sweetest sound I’ve found Come close, corazón, don’t let go Let the whole wide world roll by One more turn across the floor With you here by my side
[Verse 2] Your mother’s recipe is on the stove The window fogs, the candles low You tell the same old story twice I laugh both times; it feels just right
[Pre-Chorus] I was saving all my words Now they tumble out at once
[Chorus] Come close, corazón, stay awhile Turn this tired night around Your hand in mine, your crooked smile Is the sweetest sound I’ve found Come close, corazón, don’t let go Let the whole wide world roll by One more turn across the floor With you here by my side
[Bridge] When morning finds us half asleep I’ll keep this promise, yours to keep No grand goodbye, no grand design Just your warm hand holding mine
[Final Chorus] Come close, corazón, stay awhile Turn this tired night around Your hand in mine, your crooked smile Is the sweetest sound I’ve found Come close, corazón, don’t let go Let the whole wide world roll by One more turn across the floor With you here by my side
[Outro] Come close, corazón Stay awhile
[Verse 1] You leave your jacket on my chair A little rain still in your hair The kitchen clock forgets to move When you come in and cross the room [Pre-Chorus] I was saving all my words Now they tumble out at once [Chorus] Come close, corazón, stay awhile Turn this tired night around Your hand in mine, your crooked smile Is the sweetest sound I’ve found Come close, corazón, don’t let go Let the whole wide world roll by One more turn across the floor With you here by my side [Verse 2] Your mother’s recipe is on the stove The window fogs, the candles low You tell the same old story twice I laugh both times; it feels just right [Pre-Chorus] I was saving all my words Now they tumble out at once [Chorus] Come close, corazón, stay awhile Turn this tired night around Your hand in mine, your crooked smile Is the sweetest sound I’ve found Come close, corazón, don’t let go Let the whole wide world roll by One more turn across the floor With you here by my side [Bridge] When morning finds us half asleep I’ll keep this promise, yours to keep No grand goodbye, no grand design Just your warm hand holding mine [Final Chorus] Come close, corazón, stay awhile Turn this tired night around Your hand in mine, your crooked smile Is the sweetest sound I’ve found Come close, corazón, don’t let go Let the whole wide world roll by One more turn across the floor With you here by my side [Outro] Come close, corazón Stay awhile
