[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When they broke your body
They broke your mind
But with broken spirits you have always tried
I watch you sleep, I watch you fade
I will always keep the light on even, even though you can’t stay

[Chorus]
And you sing to me, you say
I don’t want to be awake when it takes me
I can’t wait to see you smile on the other side
I can’t wait to kiss the face of the big sky
Won’t you stay here for a while with me
My child

[Verse 2]
And you’re losing your vision, and you’re going blind
What starts out in the night time follows you in the morning light
I watch you sleep, I watch you fade
I will keep the light on as you change even, even though you can’t stay

[Chorus]
And you sing to me, you say
I don’t want to be awake when it takes me
But I can’t wait to see you smile on the other side
I can’t wait to kiss the face of the big sky
I don’t want to say goodbye to you, my child
I don’t want to be awake when it takes me
I won’t ever change my mind
I can’t wait to kiss the face of the big sky
Won't you stay for a while with me, for a while with me
My child
