One of the most beautiful love songs ever written and performed! It seems like 1971 was yesterday, how did we get to 2023 so fast!? We were young and innocent with our whole life ahead of us, where has the time gone!?😢 To all the wonderful memories and amazing days we thought would last forever!❤

[@freddyfurrah3789]

I don't know! I would rather be back there.

[@carolmerrow6467]

So true Steve hope your life is ok. With so much craziness

[@shekck]

This is indeed a beautiful song. may I suggest the version sung by Teresa Carpio and George Lum?...tell me what you think!... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHOWaISPj7ypipY&ab_channel=TeresaCarpio

[@paulinatorres151]

I agree Steve. One of the most beautiful love songs ever written It's timeless and so romantic. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it I'm on cloud nine lol

[@Steve-yo4ld]

@@paulinatorres151 Absolutely 💯 ❤️

[@Melanie-ix4nq]

Forgot all about this song, until I heard it the other day. I Love this song. How I miss the 70's.

[@shahoneyuka8165]

This was the last song my mom sang for my dad before she died. It's her 13th day in heaven now. Everytime I play this song, it reminds me of her beautiful voice and smile. I love her so much

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

So sad. Your Mother had great taste in music. This was a very popular song.

[@musicluver1958]

Awww. That's special. And my condolences. God be with you

Met Jackie Ralph around 1980. Great performer, amazing voice, and a good friend!

[@rolandoromero6570]

I love Jackie forever

[@veve3948]

Wonderful song for all the lonely and romantic souls on earth ! 😘

[@winonakitto6151]

I first heard this song when I was 6 or 7, in the mid 60’s. I used to scour the record aisles in the 80’s and 90’s for this song. To have it at my fingertips at 62 gives me a sense of nostalgia that I thought only people in the 40’s/50’s knew!

[@JohnSmith-mo6re]

KZbin is so sweet for looking up old classics. I'm younger, but my parents had the oldies radio on growing up, and these are classics as much for me too!

[@GM-xh6gj]

Coincidence. i’m also 62 and remember the song from when i was a kid. i didn’t know there was a cover of it but it was playing at McDonalds at 6 AM when I was getting coffee. It kinda stopped me in my tracks I remember seeing them sing it on TV. Here’s to childhood. Cheers.

[@dlsofsetx]

It was actually released in 1971,I was a 7th grader & the only one among my peers who liked it.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

That's interesting. It came out in 1971.

[@absalonaligas8528]

This song can give me more grateful when I'm going to sleep and also when I heared this music..I could still remember the memories when I was young

[@walterbelcourt6800]

got married to this beautiful song in the 80's, we did it at nite w/the stars. most romantic slow dancin' moment of life!..bless all of you.

[@marty3888]

Wow, perfect wedding song.

[@kdrmradio]

Spring really sprung in 1971 when this was played on the radio especially back to back with "If" by Bread!

[@meganpaulus7593]

If, by Bread, is my fave song (with lyrics) of all time! ‘Clouds’ is also fantastic! ❤️🎼❤️

[@mollyhatchet4807]

The kind of beautiful song where you close your eyes and just think of that long lost special love...and if you don't shed a tear then you have a heart of stone.....And why anyone gives this song thumbs down is beyond me.....Some people have no soul.

[@jmrodas9]

I like the sexy and heart-felt way the singers sing this song. Their voices are excellent and the harmonica adds a personal, sexy feeling to the song. Timeless, it is still good to hear and enjoy.

[@jmrodas9]

The way the girl pronounces "I am going to stay with him awhile" is so warm it's enough to melt the ice in any heart. It is just one of the beauties this song has, it makes one feel.

[@stevechiffriller874]

This song still brings tears to my eyes even after all these years.

[@dailycoffee8533]

Stay Awhile is the best song ever. They both have beautiful voicesits got fantastic lyrics and the way they sing it is Romantic.🌟🌟🌟🌹🌹🌹💞💖💖💖

[@eleven1153]

70's were special and the music was like no other.

[@hstevens7125]

There was the 60's... But no other since then

[@teejay5542]

This is probably the only song I've retained with such clarity over the years. Reminds me of the passion I once shared with a woman.

[@jmrodas9]

Simply beautiful. This song indicates how sharing intimacy with our lover is with elegance and good taste. No dirty words and the voices of the singers are very sexy and great to hear. The lyrics through simple really hit the point. So it is a very good song to hear.

[@jmrodas9]

Although released 48 years ago this song is still great to hear as it makes me remember how being in love when one is young is. One quivers from emotion when sharing intimacy with one's lover as the song says. And that feeling of our spirit leaving partially our body and getting entangled with that of our lover is something worth to remember.

[@williammelchionda7705]

50 now

[@lorrainejones8427]

Wow, you said it so beautifully.

[@lindaevans8804]

Yes

[@dennisshort9455]

I first heard this when In was a senior in college - 1971. Really liked it but somehow lost track of it. I had it in my head all last night for some reason, googled it today (10/5) and placed an Amazon order for the CD. I have listened to the KZbin video all day since finding it and will probably do so again until the CD arrives. Brings back good memories!

April 1971 Stay Awhile sung by Brother and Sister in Law Cliff Edwards and Jackie Ralph.

[@MultiXmas2011]

I remember I bought this single in Toronto when I graduated from high school. they played this song in high school dances. Had dinner with my high school friends in a restaurant and they told me that the Bells had performed this song in that restaurant. those good old days.

[@leonjmaisonneuve]

I was a server in Ottawa (The Stillery) in Vanier (Ontario). I love her beautiful angelic voice! They packed the place!

[@maitriarch]

So soft and tender! The days of great music! ♥️🎶♥️

It brings back old beautiful memories!.

[@jmrodas9]

Una de esas canciones que uno no se cansa de escuchar, tan tiernamente cantada con las voces tan sexy de los cantantes y con un mensaje tan significativo y tan real que describe muy bien lo que uno siente al compartir la intimidad con su amada, en forma elegante y limpia. Una de mis favoritas por casi 50 años ahora.

[@ladycplum]

Such a beautiful, soothing, sensual song...

[@michaelvarble4392]

I met the most beautiful girl I ever saw as a senior in highschool she was in tenth grade. But I was married and not happy. Well I blew it and only saw her a few times over the past 50 years. I was playing our song, save it for me by the four seasons and I left a comment about her 6 weeks ago. I was in a deep depression and on my way to the end of life. Somehow she knew in her heart I needed help and placed an APB online and my little brother saw it and called me then a friend of mine sent her my phone number and she called me. I was so nervous but I went to see her and as I rounded a curve in her driveway I saw her and I was instantly in love all over again and we are together now and forever. It amazes me that she kept me in her heart all those years and still loves me like nothing else in the world and I love her like nothing I can explain.

[@konthaijaidee3035]

I have not heard this song for almost 40 years. Oh... it brought back childhood memories.

[@naniadriatico5520]

I guess I'm gonna stay with you awhile.I remember that words to my wife during I'm visiting in her house in San Andres manila.I still favorite this song thanks sa nag upload nito

[@RachelReyesphiona14ph]

You're welcome :-)

[@ferdinandd26]

a simple lyric .... a simple tune .... yet strikes deepest into one's heart .... brings back a lot of happy and sad memories ....thank you for posting

[@jmrodas9]

Not only a very good song very well sung by the sensual singers but the harmonica adds to it a special sexy touch too. One of my favorites since I rediscovered it here. I wonder why can't we have popular music like this now when everything is just noise and endless repetitions of the same thing over and over.

[@jmrodas9]

I like the spontaneous way the singers sing this song which describes those deep feelings in intimacy many of us like me have felt when being with our lover, without recurring to vulgarity or profanity. Beautiful and elegantly performed with just nice clean language.

[@blakmetal85]

I love this:) It is such a beautiful song:) Remember it when it was popular:) I was around 12 or 13:) I am guessing around 1971 or 1972:)

[@jmrodas9]

Strange I never heard any other song performed by this fantastic group: the Bells, but this one is so good and brings to me so many happy remembrances I still like to hear it nearly five decades later. Timeless and awesome really and accompannied by a very well made video.

[@jmrodas9]

Still one of the best love songs I have ever heard. For me it is a special song I like very much to hear

[@lindatoten6452]

This song is about the most softly sung song i have heard. These two did an excellent job on it.

[@tonytobias6052]

You can reference the many other versions of the song on YT with the correct writer credit. We are happy that this beautiful love song written by Ken Tobias is enjoyed by so many people.

[@gacj2010]

Reminiscent of an earlier dreamy loving uplifting positive optimistic time ... so nice and young ....brings you back to gentleness of that time...sad to not have kept it ... what happened?

[@ukreid1]

Wonderful. Sometimes I grieve for those days. This track soothes a tired heart. Thank you for posting. It has certainly made my evening.

[@RachelReyesphiona14ph]

You're welcome :-)

[@jmrodas9]

This song always strikes the nostalgia button for me. I remember so many things like what being in love is when one is young and how one feels when sharing intimacy with one's lover. Sometimes I wish I could go back but of course its impossible. But I might still remember those good times I had when young and feel happy again I enjoyed them.

[@jmrodas9]

Beautiful song which describes feelings and sensations just as they are and with the sexy voices of the singers which transmit feeling as they sing the song is great. The lyrics are simple but love is not complicated really it is us who complicate it at times. One of my favorites since I found it here it makes me remember so many things of my youth long gone.

[@GOY0GREEN]

coincido totalmente escribí algo similar

[@jmrodas9]

This song is a Great one, it describes so well what one feels when having iintimacy with one's lover, and one is young. And it does so, without any vulgar or bad words. That has made it a favorite of mine through the years.

I love this song during my high school days and before our graduation practice we lost one of our classmate who died during our mountain hiking field trip at Mt.Pulog,, she died when she had her Asthma attack....we where singing this song in the bus the whole day and in the midst of cool breeze...when we're about to reach the highest peak of My. Pulog our classmate Our section Muse suddenly had her Asthma attack right in front of our very own eyes...she died catching her last breath of air Her boyfriend from another section didn't come to see her,,,he never ever try his best to embrace or help her....we knew he CHEATED her during that field trip....To You our dearest friend classmate we will miss you your smile...your face....your thoughtfulness...your blisserimg warm and tender companionship will never be replace forever.....may your memories bring this song to you....

[@regorogal7108]

My heart temporarily stops whenever I hear this song!

[@stevarino1989]

this sounds like it was recorded off a vinyl. that's a good thing because I like the sound of vinyl. this song was popular like, 18 years before I was born. (1989). I really wish we had music that sounded like this, today. Even though it was before my time, it takes me back to a happier time.

It took me 20 years to know the title of the song!! First time hearing is when I was 7. I come a country which doesn’t use English as its first language, that’s why it took that long. Thank you to “google search a song”. Really made my day :)

Lovely song; worth staying awhile.

[@jmrodas9]

One of those nice songs that actually mean something unlike most of the songs today which are only noise and screams. This one expresses real feelings and sensations all of us who have been in love when we were young remember very well. And the sexy voice of the singers suits the lyrics perfectly. Sad to realize how much we have retreated in popular music. Shame really.

[@RachelReyesphiona14ph]

+Manfred Richter You're welcome :-)

[@jmrodas9]

This one is simply beautiful. It describes in no uncertain terms how wonderful we feel when sharing intimacy with our lover. There is that feeling of togetherness that simply is hard to put into words. And it makes one able to keep on working despite difficulties or bad moments at times. Love is wonderful really. The video is cool and very nice to watch too as it is very adequate for the song.

[@RachelReyesphiona14ph]

Thank you :-)

[@jmrodas9]

Timeless really as love itself is. I like the natural way in which this song is sung and the feeling the singers put into their singing it sounds as if they really mean what they are saying. And the video is excellent too so it is a joy to hear and to watch.

[@RachelReyesphiona14ph]

Thank you :-)

Me too, 1971, I was 16 yrs old. My girlfriend and I loved this song. It was a great time to be a teenager and a young adult. Love to return to the 70s, shoot I'd even repeat my 4 years in the Marine Corps just to be back in the 70s.

[@jmrodas9]

One of those songs that are good to hear any time and any place. It describes deep feelings just as they are and that is only one of its charms. The sexy and full of feeling voices of the girl and the boy singing it make it a very good song. The music is very well played too.

[@lolitovera9313]

THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL YOUNG WWHHEEEWWWW. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

[@janiejurica4767]

Great song. They do not have songs like this. The best times too.

[@RachelReyesphiona14ph]

+Janie Jurica Yes !!!

[@bfsd150]

+Janie Jurica Why? I wonder. This is a beautiful song. Powerful and meaningful lyrics, powerful rhythm and tune and the female singers voice is the cherry on top. The guy in the song did a great job too. This song brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. Not many songs can do that to me. It takes true talent and skill to put together a song like this. I think that many music artists these days just don't have the talent and skill to make songs like this anymore. They may have the voice but they over look the other elements such as meaningful lyrics and the rhythm and tune. All these things are important when it comes to making a song good. I pay attention to these things when I listen to a song. I don't like songs where it's just screaming. It doesn't take talent or skill to scream. Anybody can scream. I also don't like songs where the singer over dramatizes and elongates the lyrics which most female singers do that a lot and I don't get why they do it. It makes me roll my eyes like come on, please. It feels like they're just trying to make the song longer and it's unnecessary. Sing the lyrics naturally and a lot of times there's little to no rhythm in their songs and the tune or beat is weak. This is the problem with music that's made these days. It lacks those elements. But this song Stay Awhile has all those elements in it combined and that's what makes it a great song and a classic. If all those singers out there today would adapt to this way of song making and stop with this elongating the lyrics then they could be hits just like this song was and others like it.

[@mxiajoy27]

As I listen to this song so intently, it evokes a feeling of ambiguity that pulls me to opposite poles, tearing my heart and soul apart. It leaves you to wonder to go or stay...to be captured to freedom or to be freed unto the chains of having to love or be loved. The memory of being with you and being apart from youequates to that of a void within you, of which you want to get rid of yet you keep holding onto tightly. Oh Love, how you play with my soul yet grants amazing joy to my heart!

[@carlosmulero6899]

What else càn you expect from such a beautiful song

[@jerryconnors1703]

Someone below mentioned the female singer and her line that ends "awhile." That "awhile" has stayed with men and boys for over a half-century. The singer's name is Jackie Ralph; she was born in South Africa and lived in Montreal, and I think these facts help give her pronunciation of "awhile" a part of its magical quality.
