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 is gently holding mine
I must be quiet yet I start to cry
Oh no,
stay a little bit
A little bit longer
Ooh
A little bit longer
The doctors says you're dying
Please, let them be lying
There must be something that I can do, ooh
If I could take your place I would, for you
Stay a little bit longer
Think of all the joy you've given me
So much love, so many memories
Oh no,
live a little bit
A little bit longer
Ooh
A little bit longer
I'll try - but how to?
I'll die, without you
If I could take your place I would, for you
Live a little bit longer
Ooh
The doctors says you're dying
Please, let them be lying
There must be something that I can do, ooh
If I could take your place I would, for you
I'll try - but how to?
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
Ooh
