May i go now? Do you think the time is right?
May i say goodbye to pain filled days and endless nights?
I've lived my life and done my best, an example i tried to be.
So can i take that step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first. I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light.
I want to go. I really do, it's difficult to say.
But i will try as best i can to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears.
The memory of the times we've had will take you through the years.
I'll not be far..I promise that, and hope you'll always know,
My spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me, you know i love you too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.
So hold me now; just one more time and let me hear you say
Because you care so much for me. you'll let me go today
