Nightingale

In a hospital room, the lights are dim
I make the bed again
But I still remember the look on your face
Family of three wife and kids
He tells a story of A life lived well lived
Forty years together now goodbye
It never gets any better

I can't help but cry
Feel I've failed you even when I try
Question why I ever chose this life
It never gets any better
But I'll stand by your side
Won't leave for awhile
Even when you close your eyes

So Sing sweet Nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale
I'm part of her army
Put the weight on me
So sing sweet Nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale
I'm part of her army
Put the weight on me
And I will stay awake each night so you can sleep

A moment of silence for the gone too soon
I pack your things from a hospital room
I call your kin
tell them the news
It never gets any better
But I'll stand by your side
Won't leave for awhile
Even when you close your eyes

So Sing sweet Nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale
I'm part of her army
Put the weight on me
So sing sweet Nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale
I'm part of her army
Put the weight on me
And I will stay awake each night so you can sleep

Frustrated why can't we succeed
I'm burned out more than you'll ever see
when I cry oh it makes me feel weak
But ill set it all aside when we meet
So ill hold on
Oh I'll hold on

So sing sweet Nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale
I'm part of her army
Put the weight on me
Sing sweet nightingale
But I won't give up the fight so easily
But I won't give up the fight sir please breathe
