lyrics

Stay Awake
© Sumitra Nanjundan 2023

The bells are ringing louder now
Her favourite time of year
She’s telling me to join the fun
Christmas Eve is here

She gave me all she had to give
And always spoke her truth
She left too fast, she left too soon
And all I wanna do (is)

Stay awake, stay awake till the sun light’s the sky
Hold her close, don’t let go, keep her memory alive
Lean on her shoulder, rest a while
She says
“Close your eyes, it’s OK, I’ll be here
If you can’t stay awake”

Goodnight angel
Don’t you cry
Sleep my darling
This is not goodbye

People say time heals all wounds
What do they know?
They tell me
“Let her go, you’ll get through it”

But I can talk to her
Talk to her
All I gotta do (is)

Stay awake, stay awake till the sun light’s the sky
Hold her close, don’t let go, keep her memory alive
Lean on her shoulder, rest a while
She says
“Close your eyes, it’s OK, I’ll be here
If you can’t stay awake”

Goodnight angel
Don’t you cry
Sleep my darling
This is not goodbye
