Before I go away

Posted by Shelly on March 17, 2013

I can hear my voice inside my head

why can’t you hear what I just said?

screaming, yelling, full of fear

get a blanket. it’s cold in here

Machines are beeping, the noises so loud

someone please turn of that sound

Why are you sad? Why do you cry?

Why do you keep saying goodbye?

I’m confused, what’s going on

your acting as if I’m already gone

The doctor’s here, it’s alright

I promise I’ll keep up the fight

Wait a minute, what’s that I see?

There’s a beautiful light, coming towards me

I see mom and dad, all my old friends

Is this what it’s like when it all ends?

My pain is gone along with my fears

I wish I could reach out and wipe those tears

Don’t cry for me baby, I won’t be far

I’ll always be wherever you are

Carry my memories deep in your heart

There we can never be apart

Be strong now, they’re calling me

Oh baby, this is a sight to see

Please let me go, please don’t cry

Now, it’s time to say goodbye

Don’t mourn for me, I’m going home

Family and friends, I won’t be alone

I can run and play, sing a song or two

And I’ll be there making a place for you

Goodbye my darling please be strong

I’ve been in pain for way too long

I’ve got to go, I really must

Please baby, you’ve got to trust

I have loved you with all my heart

Not even this can tear us apart

I’m walking now into this light

Oh baby, this feels so right

I’m at peace, please understand

Time to let go of my hand

Only wish you could hear me say

I love you… before I go away
