I'm losing a generation And it's taken Ninety plus years but death's finally made a new friend Welcomed with open arms like he'd always intended I saw the black hood And it whispered my name If I hold your hand a little tighter Will you stay here one more day If I sing your name a little louder Will you still remember me? Memories of a hospital bed, as my family Stand around, they're quoting the dead The cold touch of my hand on your chest Watch your sleeping smile Knowing you gave nothing less than It all for your family to live and survive In a world that death has finally said it's time That you departed for Where fathers meet mothers And brothers meet brothers If I hold your hand a little tighter Will you stay here one more day If I sing your name a little louder Will you still remember me? And I'm losing a generation, but I'll be okay, okay
