My dear, it’s time to go now,

The lights will fade away,

And though I have to leave you,

In my mind, you’ll always stay.

 

So slip into the harmony,

Stride into its peace,

I promise you, it gets better,

And your pain, soon, shall cease.

 

Go where you won’t hurt, now,

Where there’s nothing left to fear,

Don’t feel sad for me, my precious,

You are worth my every tear.

 

It’s true that I will miss you,

And sometimes, even cry,

But I’ll be fine, I promise,

So breathe out your last sigh.

 

I’ll stand here to see you off, dear,

So just fall to endless sleep,

Though you’ll be taken away from me,

Your memory, I’ll always keep.

 

I’ll hold your hand through it all,

Until my touch fades away,

Because, even though I’ll leave you,

You’ll be in my mind to stay.
