#“Stay a Little Longer, Mama” is an emotional live performance about the moment when love has to become goodbye. A daughter sits with the woman who taught her how to stand, carried her through every difficult moment, and gave her a lifetime of love. At first, she begs her mother to stay just a little longer. But sometimes loving someone also means finding the strength to let them go. This live performance of “Stay ina Little Longer, Mama” is dedicated to every mother we wish we could hold for one more night, and to everyone who has ever had to say goodbye before they were ready. Performed by Freya Skald. If this song reminds you of someone you love, tell me about them in the comments. ❤️ LYRICS: Stay a little longer, Mama The night is not that old I know your hands are tired But I still need to hold The fire is burning lower The room is almost still You taught me how to stand up when I wanted to run You carried all my sorrow when I could carry none Now I sit here beside you with nothing left to say Stay a little longer, Mama Don't leave me yet tonight Let me hold your tired hand until the morning light I know you've fought enough I know your road was long Stay a little longer, Mama I'm not ready for you gone Your cup is by the fire Your dress is by the door I hear your voice in every room like I did before You taught me every prayer before I knew their meaning Now I'm saying every one while you're barely breathing If you see Dad tell him I remember Tell him I kept the old house warm through every winter And Mama... if you need to go I won't ask you to stay YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY NOW, MAMA I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED TONIGHT I'LL KEEP HOLDING YOUR HAND UNTIL YOU FIND THE LIGHT YOU GAVE ME ALL YOUR COURAGE YOU GAVE ME ALL YOUR LOVE REST NOW, MY DEAR MAMA I'LL BE STRONG ENOUGH Morning came The room was still I kissed your forehead Goodnight, Mama I love you still #FreyaSkald #EmotionalMusic #SongForMom #bjornbonebreaker #eldruna - @viking_production
