The sun is setting on my life
I find it hard to keep track of the time
Just counting down the hours
'Til it's time to say goodbye
And holding your hand in mine
Watching all the memories
And I have no idea what's waiting for me on the other side
But hosts of angels singing symphonies have nothing on your eyes
Tonight, let's forget about the hourglass of time
And talk about our lives
The year was 1943
A spectacle of instruments and harmonies from under the marquis
You glance at me
We shared a drink or two you tell me how you always wanted to go travelling in Bruges
Then you led me gently by the hand we danced until the sun was rising
We didn't give a damn about the world, I found you mesmerising
Captivated truly by the scale of possibilities
It's been so long I had felt this feeling of tranquillity with you
I never want to be apart from you
I'd spend a whole eternity with you
I can't imagine being without you
Without you there
The hospital fades out of view
Your face is the only thing I see
The tears are glistening softly on your cheek
I tell you to stop crying over me
And squeeze your hand so tightly
And I don't want to die, I'm terrified and reaching out for you
This may be a goodbye, a final reverie of mortal view
I hope that we can meet again, I hope that you remember me
But until then I'll have to live without you, and you without me
