Without You

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 grip 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
