• Will you be here when I die?
    Will I ever see a tear in your eye?
    You said you'd follow me into the dark.
    And light my fire with a small spark.

    You said you would hold my heart.
    And now I find that we must part.
    Such sadness all to me.
    And yet there is no grief that I see.

    No pain, no harm.
    No cause for alarm.
    I'll just close my eyes and go to sleep.
    And my love you will forever keep.

    My sins I do not regret.
    For now, we will forget.
    I will feel nothing as I pass through.
    Everything will become anew.

    You see me now, life and all.
    Now I will be better off, if I recall.
    I won't be held down or hurt anymore.
    And one day, we'll be back together like before.

    You promised me something you cannot do.
    But I know deep down in your heart, it was true.
    You had your good intentions,
    And now we both learned the lessons.

    You cannot follow me where shadows rise.
    To cover the sun and darken the sky.
    To cover the very tears in our eyes.
    And now I find that I can hear my own cries.

    I'm slowly passing into death,
    I can feel my body taking the last breath.
    I see my spirit moving forward
    The chains no longer anchored.

    I'm now free at last.
    I'm finally gone from the past.
    To see you one day in beautiful light.
    I hope in my life, I was alright.

    I couldn't please you all,
    But that wasn't my choice or call.
    You stayed at my side,
    All until the moment I died.

    I looked into your eyes with my own.
    And I see in our life, how the love had grown.
    We had become so close for so long.
    And now it seemed to all be gone.

    But it wasn't true, we were still in love.
    Even if I was going to be up above.
    I would love you forever, I had said.
    And now I finally will go on ahead.

    Ahead of you, into paradise.
    I must say, thank you for your calming advice.
    I will be here, waiting for you.
    That day will come, I will see it through.

    I will hold you again, close and tight.
    Never to let go, not even in darkest night.
    I promised you long ago, I promise you now.
    I'll keep to it here and there, I give you my vow.
