I remember when we both were young
but you were brave and journeyed on
I was too frightened, and perhaps too vain
so in my youth I remained
Now your face is lined
Your hair is grey
Tomorrow will be your final day
Like every fragile flower
you've just one breath
and then it's gone
Don't leave me behind again
my Love, my Life, my only friend
Without you, I can't be whole
Without you, I have no soul
I'm not asking you to struggle
Just take me with you
into the Dawn
Embrace me in the sunlight
I don't want to live forever
Free me from this endless night
And if God is forgiving, we'll be together
