It's just a matter of time
a few days ago I saw you, you were fine
Remembering what you said
About the book you read
The one I got you
The Beginning of the End
Oh how we'd talk for hours upon end
What I give just to do it again
But you're lying there in this hospital bed
Won't you open you eyes
And let's talk once again
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face
Well I've been here all night
And I'm watching you
Breathe in and breathe out
Is it really you or just a machine
That's giving you life
And it's making seem
That there could be hope
I could say to your face
If it weren't for you
That there would be no grace
That's covered my life
You took the time to speak
into my mind and my heart words of life
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face
So goodbye for now and I'll see you again
Some way, somehow
When it's my turn to go to the other side
I'll hold you again
And melt at your smile
Now all I have are the ones that I'm with
And you taught me not
To take for granted
The time that we have
To show that we care
Speak into their minds and their hearts
While their here
And say I love you
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face
