Forgotten Christmas Gems...East 17.....'Stay'
Discussion
This really should come under the title of 'records that you are embarrassed to like'
sorry ,i really like this tune and it's quite emotional even tho the lyrics are not really christmassy the tune always send shivers up my spine (especially the end part)
EAST 17 (in Chav-tastic poptabadopolous woolworths pick'n'mix stylie festive groove)
STAY ANOTHER DAY - 10/12/1994

Baby if you got to go away
Don't think I could take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day
Don't you know we've come too far now
Just to go and try to throw it all away
Thought I heard you say you love me
That your love was gonna be here to stay
I've only just begun to know you
All I can say, is won't you stay
Just one more day
Baby if you got to go away
Don't think I could take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day
I touch your face while you are sleeping
And hold your hand, don't understand what's going on
Good times we had return to haunt me
Though it's for you, all that I do
Seems to be wrong
Baby if you got to go away
Don't think I could take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day
Baby if you got to go away
Don't think I could take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day
Baby if you got to go away
Don't think I could take the pain
Won't you stay another day
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day

I know the chap that wrote it.
Its just been re-released.
Hes quite pleased...
wasn't it dedicated to Tony's (lead singer) brother who died???? or have i mis-heard somewhere down the line?
if that's true ,it will explain the lump in my throat every time i hear it?....(it would anyway.....a cracking tune/lyrics)

Saw video again today on TMF (freeview only = tightarse) for the first time in ages....'Tony lead singer whatshisface' is deffo shedding a tear ....just wondering if the PH 'massive , innit?' knows the story about my original query?
Once again ,great tune.....presented in white fluffy parka-vision......naturally

I thought the same, that it was written by Tony Mortimer in memory of his brother.
dammit.....why does my contact lens play up every time i see this now
(having kids really has changed me.....i swear)
and i hated East 17 with a passion ....reserved for the likes of 'Hearsay' 'Dizzie Rascal' and Peter Andre.
