Please Stay, is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Bob Hilliard, released by The Drifters in 1961.
Dedicated to all the lonely peoples of our world, especially during this most revered season of Christmas.
May we, all, be blessed with His grace, and be filled with peace, love and hope.
Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

Great song here, Rene. I had to go back and listen to the original again. Your fingerstyle arrangement is really easy to listen to. The longing vocal melody is what carries the song.
Rudy Lewis, who sings the Drifters version, was Ben E. King's replacement in the band. He had some really, really big shoes to fill. Sadly, Rudy died about three years after recording this song at the age of 27. The Drifters have so many memorable songs in their catalog. This is a really lonely, longing piece of music. It sounds really good and up to date in your acoustic guitar version.
Thank you for sharing. Music is a great remedy for loneliness.
