Stay awake my precious,
Stay with me some more.
Grasp my hand, my love,
And hold me to your core.

I am here, my darling,
I am just right here.
When you fall asleep, my love,
I'll stay with you, my dear.

Your eyes are growing tired,
My soul is held in pause.
If you go to sleep, my star,
I will lose my source.

Courage, love, and faith, my dear.
I haven't gone away.
I shut my eyes to dry my tears
So you don't have to pray.

I'm scared, my joy, for what comes next.
Is it dark, you think?

No way.
I picture fields of endless stars
And you brighter than the day.

Hold me, I feel I'm slipping fast away.

I'll never let you go, my love,
Sleep, there, it's not so bad.
I'll be with you shortly,
Don't worry, don't be sad.
