BEFORE YOU GO AWAY

At times I think

At times too much

About all of the world

About all of us

At times I worry

At times too much

About the world

About us

I think about you

And what you meant to me

Never before did I realize

What you mean to me

Time has taken it's toll on me

You were there to set me free

Before you go away

Let me know

If you can hear me

Before you go away

Let me know

And wait for me there

When a life

Is taken away

We fail to accept

The agony and the pain

When a life

Fades away

Will we carry on

Another day

Is it enough

To say we care

If we are not there

To say, good-bye

When the world

Takes away

The only friend

Who understands

Before you go away

Let me know

If you'll be okay

Before you go away

Let me know

Where ever you may be

It hurts too much

To remain the same

No way to stop

The unending pain

Will you remember me

Why did you have to leave

Without

Saying good-bye

Now I'm left here

To only wonder

If I could have been there

Before your time

Will you ever know

The way I felt inside

When I saw your face

For the last time

Before you go away

There is something I must say

Before you go away

Did you ever feel the same

Before you go away

Did you call my name

Before you go away

Did you care about me

If you can hear me

Let me know somehow

If you can hear me

Stop me from the tears

Before you go away

I only wish

I was there...
