[Verse 1]
And I'm dreaming of a day
Where love can find a way
Inside a heart that keeps me alive
Imaging a life
Where love was found in time
A single heart to hold forever mine
[Verse 2]
But I'll keep hoping
And I'm only young but I'm here today
So I'll keep my heart open
No one seems to know I feel this way
And it's cold and dark at night
We rest, no time to fight
[Verse 3]
I tell her that I love her all the time
She rolls onto her side
I look inside her eyes
A picture that remains inside my mind
And I'm scared of losing
Of losing love, and losing life
So I'll keep on looking
As I focus on the waves of time
[Verse 4]
The heaven gates are open
As she gets closer to her death
For she is my angel
This angel in my head
[Verse 5]
No I won't leave her
Cause we don't know how long is left
And I don't know if I'll be there
Or what will happen next
[Verse 6]
Her heart is beating
And to the light she's getting close
No more crying
Cause the tears I have no more
My heart is broken
One last goodbye forever more
I tell her softly
That I will never let her go
[Verse 7]
And there's a man across the road
He's dressed in black like coal
He bows his head to show respect once more
Her hands are held in mine
As I slowly close her eyes
Her life goes up to wait with space for mine
[Outro]
20 years I have lead
But I'm 50 years ahead
A house, a wife, some kids, with no regrets
And if I had died today
At least that I could say
I lived a life I knew in my own way
