It’s past your bed time but would you mind if you keep me company
I bet you spend more time and energy counting sheep
To refuse is not unkind but you might regret this opportunity
What you’ve got to lose, you got to lose for a stranger like me
[chorus]
Stay awake with me
Stay wide awake
To brave the cold night and soon enough we will find the bride
Groom coming along within a twinkle of an eye
Death is swallowed up in victory
Oh where is your sting cause we were meant to be
We were meant to be a witness
[repeat chorus]
Oh death where is your sting in the midst of all these promises
True love waits with enough oil to keep their burning lamps
[repeat chorus]
