Song For The Dying (M.Brooks)
Sadly written from personal experience. What do you say when someone you love is
dying slowly in front of you? These are some of my thoughts I couldn't say out loud.
We both know what's happening
We're both afraid to say it
As if not mentioning the word
Will manage to delay it
I ask how you are
I can see you're getting worse
And it would trake a miracle
To break this deadly curse
CHORUS
And I wish you the best for the rest of your life
I pray for the pain to go away
It's not yet night enjoy the twilight
Make the most of the remains of the day
You're such an integral part of my life
I can't imagine you leaving
But while you're still here I hold back the tears
Now's not the time for greiving
Our time together's so special
I can't face the truth it must stop
And though the river has almost run dry
Let's eak out each last drop
CHORUS
This may be our last conversation
But that was always the same
You don't want to talk of religion or philosephy
But of everyday things, the mundane
Our past together is over
The future's a dream away
So young or old healthy or not
We can only live for today
