Who will stand beside me
When my life is done –
There to watch me slip away
Just like the fading sun.
And who will hold my hand
At my final breath –
Who will say a last goodbye
When I am close to death.
Shall you see me weeping
Wipe away my tears –
Gently soothe my fevered brow
Dissolving all my fears.
Watching as I falter
When my time is due –
Softly whisp’ring through the night
A tender ‘I love you.’
As I lay there dying
Will you speak my name –
Shall I see you by my side
Once more with me again.
And shall you look upon me,
See my spirit soar –
Reaching out with open arms
To hold me then once more.
When my heart stops beating,
When I close my eyes –
Shall you gently carry me
With you to Paradise.
In that final moment,
Touching the unknown –
O shall you stand beside me
So I am not alone.
