STAY BY ME, BABY (Tom Evans)
[Tom Evans demo from "I Am Myself - Demos: 1967-1970 - recorded 1967 or 1968 - released 2024]

The love I give is all I can
The future's something we can plan
But baby, if you stick with me
I'll try to make our dreaming just as real as can be (real as can be)

So, stay by me, baby (I know you won't be sorry)
Stay by me, baby (Don't have to be so worried)

I have no wealth, I own no car
The first to say, I'm no big star
But baby, if you'll see it through
I'm pretty sure that I can make it up to you (up to you)

So, stay by me, baby (I know you won't be sorry)
Stay by me, baby (Don't have to be so worried)

[guitar solo]
Baby, if you'll stand by me
I'll try to make our dreaming just as real as can be (real as can be)

So, stay by me, baby (I know you won't be sorry)
Stay by me, baby (Don't have a thing to worry)
Stay by me, baby (I know you won't be sorry)
Stay by me, baby (Don't have a thing to worry)
Stay by me, baby (You won't be sorry, girl)
