Once again I'm sitting by your bed, looking at your little sleeping head Hold on just a little bit, a little bit longer A little hand that's gently holding mine I must be quiet yet I start to cry Oh no, stay a little bit, a little bit longer A little bit longer The doctor says still dying, please let them be lying There must be something that I can do If I could take your place, I would for you Stay a little bit longer I think of all the joy you've given me So much love, so many memories Oh no, stay a little bit, a little bit longer Oh, a little bit longer I'll try, but how I'll do I'll die without you If I could take your place, I would for you Live a little bit longer The doctor says still dying, please let them be lying There must be something that I can do If I could take your place, I would I'll try, but how I'll do I'll die without you If I could take your place, I would for you Stay a little bit longer Live a little bit longer A little bit longer
