Before I'm Gone

In the quiet of the night with the stars above so bright

I'm standing on the edge of time wondering where you are

The battles we've fought the lines we've crossed

And the memories that we've lost we've come so far

But tomorrow's never promised it's a fragile little thread

In the blink of an eye it could all be said

We take for granted the things we need to say

But I'm here to tell you now before it slips away

I never thought I'd be the one to say goodbye

But here we are and the stars in the sky don't lie

We never think to say it but I wanted to make sure I did

Before it's too late and we forget what we hid

In the blink of an eye it could all be gone

So I'm saying goodbye but my heart lingers on

We've faced the storm we've walked through fire

Through every trial and every desire

The years have flown by like whispers in the wind

Now I need to say the words I've kept within

But tomorrow's never promised it's a fragile little thread

In the blink of an eye it could all be said

We take for granted the things we need to say

But I'm here to tell you now before it slips away

I never thought I'd be the one to say goodbye

But here we are and the stars in the sky don't lie

We never think to say it but I wanted to make sure I did

Before it's too late and we forget what we hid

In the blink of an eye it could all be gone

So I'm saying goodbye but my heart lingers on

So here's to the moments we've shared and the love we've known

To the stories told and the seeds we've sown

In the silence that follows let the truth be clear

You were loved beyond words and I hold you near

I never thought I'd be the one to say goodbye

But here we are and the stars in the sky don't lie

We never think to say it but I wanted to make sure I did

Before it's too late and we forget what we hid

In the blink of an eye it could all be gone

So I'm saying goodbye but my heart lingers on

In the blink of an eye life can take its flight
