I close my eyes
and you cry
you hold my hand tighter
and call my name

I look at you with those tears in your eyes
and wish I didn't have to leave you
but it's my time

Slipping away
while you hold me in your arms
I feel tired
and want to close my eyes

You tell me to hold on
to fight for my life
I lay here in a bed
helpless

I'm slipping away
and it's my time
all I see is your face
I smile at you
for your face is the last one I shall see

You tell me you love me
and I try to tell you the same
but no words
too weak to say I love you

I hate to leave you in such a way
but it's my time to leave
and I'm glad I've spent my last minutes with you

Here I'am
slipping away right in front of you
no doctors to help
and nothing they can do

A light appears in the corner
a bright warm light
a  warm feeling comes over me
and I see a figure in the light

I look away from you
and I'm taken into a deep sleep
a forever dream
never to wake
never to see your face again until you sleep

I've slipped away
and feel no pain
so don't cry for me
it's not goodbye forever

Heaven will bring you to me one day
and we will be together again
never to cry
never to feel pain
I will wait for you
