As the minutes pass I look to you

I know you're not all right

I'm past the point of thinking straight

I can only watch and cry

Don't say the words that mean the end

Don't tell me to go on

Don't leave behind an only song

To wish that you weren't gone



As a boy I held your hand

I never wanted you to leave

I could not ever understand

And now I'm here in disbelief

Do you have to say goodbye?



I lived my life knowing now

Imagining you here

Knowing what would take your life

And counting all my tears

Did you see this then?

Did you think of how

You would tell someone

I have to leave now?



As a boy I held your hand

I never wanted you to leave

I could not ever understand

And now I'm here in disbelief

Do you have to say goodbye?



One step away

One step away

One step away

One step away



As a boy I held your hand

I never wanted you to leave

I could not ever understand

And now I'm here in disbelief

Do you have to say goodbye?
