He fades Day by day. How he has held on so long to life, I'll never know. Maybe there's someplace beyond He doesn't want to go? I hope that he can hear us When we say we love him so. Maybe there's someplace beyond He doesn't want to go? Goodbye so many times We just don't know how long he'll stay Next time that I leave, Could it be then he slips away? I'm not the one in bed and yet Somehow I feel so drained Next time that I leave, Could it be then he slips away? I've never felt an hour pass so fast And yet so slow. He's all but gone and yet what's left Refuses to let go. We're hoping for it now Is that so bad? It feels so close. He's all but gone and yet what's left Refuses to let go.
