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   Oh, a little bit longer      The doctor says you're dyin'   Please, let them be lyin'   There must be something that I can do, oh   If I could take your place I would, for you      Stay a little bit longer (hu)      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   Oh, a little bit longer (ho)      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 (hu)      The doctor says you're dyin'   Please, let them be lyin'   There must be something that I can do, oh   If I could take your place I would      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, oh
