Stay Awhile

[NALU]
You can lay out in the sunshine
Or chase an island breeze
Play along the shoreline
In waves up to your knees
Here in Crystal Cove we can do anything you please
If you stay awhile

[MERMAIDS]
Stay awhile

[NALU]
You can build a little castle
Out along the sandy dune
Or swim the sparkling waters
Of your very own lagoon

[NALU & MERMAIDS]
Life here is fantastic

[ELINA]
But I really must go soon

[MERMAIDS]
Oh!

[NALU]
Won't you stay awhile?

[MERMAIDS]
Stay awhile

[ELINA]
How I wish that I could stay
In Crystal Cove forever
But it wouldn't be okay
'Cause I gotta help my friends
So I best be on my way
And maybe I'll be back someday

[NALU]
As the sun bеgins a-setting
We could take out a canoе
To you find yourself forgetting
All the things you had to do

[NALU & MERMAIDS]
Paradise is twice as nice

[NALU]
When there's a friend like you
Would you stay awhile?

[MERMAIDS]
Would you stay awhile?

[ELINA]
Would I stay awhile?

[MERMAIDS]
Stay awhile

[ELINA]
I would love to be that free
I could hang around forever
In your cove out by the sea
Under tropical moonlight
I'd be happy as can be
But my friends have put their trust in me

Though I wish that I could stay

[NALU]
In Crystal Cove forever

[ELINA]
I'll be heading out today

[NALU]
'Cause you've gotta help your friends

[ELINA]
But I think it's safe to say
That I'll only be awhile away
