Slipping Away
What do you say
When the words just won’t come?
I’m standing here
Looking at you
For the last time
And for once in my life
I’m speechless
I’m watching you die
Slipping farther out of my grasp
And there’s nothing I can do
To stop it
What could I say?
What can I say?
To make this all go away
Your eyes close
But you squeeze my hand
Not very hard
But enough to let me know
That you were there
Your grip slips
Getting weaker and weaker
And now
When its almost too late
The words come
I love you
When the words just won’t come?
I’m standing here
Looking at you
For the last time
And for once in my life
I’m speechless
I’m watching you die
Slipping farther out of my grasp
And there’s nothing I can do
To stop it
What could I say?
What can I say?
To make this all go away
Your eyes close
But you squeeze my hand
Not very hard
But enough to let me know
That you were there
Your grip slips
Getting weaker and weaker
And now
When its almost too late
The words come
I love you
