"Come and Stay with Me" is a pop song, written by Jackie DeShannon in 1965 for the British singer Marianne Faithfull.
It became one of her biggest hits, peaking #4 at United Kingdom.
[1] Faithfull's former manager Tony Calder told Mojo magazine in September 2008 that the song was written in Los Angeles, where he was with Jimmy Page who had an affair with DeShannon: "One night I couldn't get into our hotel room because Jimmy and Jackie DeShannon were shagging.
So I yelled, 'When you've finished could you write a song for Marianne?
'"[2] DeShannon came up with this song plus with Page an album track, "In My Time of Sorrow."
