As I Fade

Stay with me as i gaze through the window.

My heart filled with bittersweet sorrow

Stay with me as the sun says her goodbye

and I whisper back as she silently cries.

Stay by my side as I'm wallowing in hopelessness.

Be my light as I'm enveloped in darkness.

Let's just watch the stars appear one by one.

Be with me until all this is done.

Hold my hand as my sight grows dim.

Be my strength as it eats me from within.

Keep me in your embrace until the next morning.

Hold me until my heart stops beating.

Listen to the words I still have to say.

Hold on to me as I slowly drift away.

A few hours from now I will finally rest.

Please indulge me, i have one last request.

As i look back at all my days

You were always the one who showed me the way.

As I count the hours, I am left with none.

For tonight, just pretend that I'm still the one.
