Stay Awhile - The Bells (1971)

The Bells, a Canadian rock band from Montreal-Quebec, started in 1965 as The Five Bells. The group featured South African natives Anne and Jackie Ralph as well as Cliff Edwards, Dough Gravelle and Gordie McLeod.

Dedicated to my best friend David & his fiancee Megan of Virginia. They met and fell in love at the 2010 U.S. Transplant Games earlier this year. Lots of love to you both...

This song brings back fond memories of someone I loved many years ago. Sadly, she's no longer with us, having passed on in 1987. While I miss her deeply, I'm thankful for the time she was part of my life. I hope and pray that I'll see her again in heaven.

@TheIrishMikeB Thank you for sharing that with us. Yes, it's sad when one we love goes, but it is those memories we hold dear in our heart that help us to keep moving forward in life. I wish you continued happiness and peace and joy and love - Jo.

Cliff Edwards, not just a great musician and writer, but a terrific guy and a very good touch football player. Northumberland County in Ontario was richer for having him there for a while.

Peace, Cliff.

I am so sorry for you loss. As sappy as this song is, it's beautiful. Hold on to your precious memories.  I'm sure she was worth it. And yes, you WILL see her again. <3

Sappy Tune!! The first time I'd heard it I thought she was singing 'HOWIE makes me smile" I was wondering who Howie was!!! (AM Radios weren't too clear then!!)

I remember this while I was in Army flight school in Texas in '71. I was 18, lonely and this made me feel better about what was about to happen.
