Fade Away

What can I say Unsure what to believe I feel I've gone a stray Left alone to grieve The suffering cant last A daunting task A lifetime of misery We said our goodbyes The flame of your light left in may I watched you fade away The silence is deafening I hope heaven's listening tonight Why'd it happen today This pain is a disease There was no other way We've accepted your defeat When the time was called You've fought through it all You took your last breath And I fell down and bawled I reached for your hand As I prayed to God that day I dreaded the day Aligned at your wake Grasping on memories Tried to push down the pain I saw something I will never explain I hope heaven's glistening You reside in my memory
