In the quiet of the morning,
As the sun begins to rise,
I feel the weight upon my shoulders,
I see the sorrow in your eyes.
You're lying there so fragile,
Your breaths are shallow, few, and far between,
I hold your hand, it trembles softly,
As you fight a battle no one's seen.
Before I die, let me say goodbye,
Let me hold you one last time,
Before I lose you to the sky,
Before I die.
Before I die, let me say goodbye,
Let me hold you one last time,
Before I lose you to the sky,
Before I die.
We talk about the memories,
The laughter and the tears we've shed,
But now they seem so distant,
As I watch you lying there in bed.
Your voice, it fades to whispers,
But I hang on to every word you say,
I try to be strong, but inside I'm breaking,
Knowing soon you'll slip away.
The clock keeps ticking, time keeps slipping,
And I can't stop the tears from falling,
I wish I could turn back the hands,
And keep you here, keep you calling.
But the end is drawing nearer,
And I can't bear to watch you go,
So I'll cherish every moment,
Every whisper, every soft hello.
And when you close your eyes for the last time,
And you drift away into the night,
I'll hold you close, I'll keep you near,
Even though you're out of sight.
Before I die, let me say goodbye,
Let me hold you one last time,
Before I lose you to the sky,
Before I die.
Before I die, let me say goodbye,
Let me hold you one last time,
Before I lose you to the sky,
Before I die.
