I will hold your hand till the end of the road
The beginning of the end, part of growing old
At night I can close my eyes and sleep in peace
Your soul has taken flight been released
I can hold my head up with tears in my eyes
Stood by you till the end and said goodbye
In my darkest times you gave me light
Through thick and thin and all my plight’s
When it was cold you shined like the sun
When I was down you where a special mum
Yesterday at the end of the road we did part
I said goodbye alone with my broken heart
In future times we will meet at heavens gates
Until then time will pass till I reach my fate
We will find a new road we can tread together
It’s heavens place but this one lasts forever
Fictional for now. My Mother has Alzheimer's.

I will hold your hand till the end of the road
The beginning of the end, part of growing old
At night I can close my eyes and sleep in peace
Your soul has taken flight been released
I can hold my head up with tears in my eyes
Stood by you till the end and said goodbye
In my darkest times you gave me light
Through thick and thin and all my plight’s
When it was cold you shined like the sun
When I was down you where a special mum
Yesterday at the end of the road we did part
I said goodbye alone with my broken heart
In future times we will meet at heavens gates
Until then time will pass till I reach my fate
We will find a new road we can tread together
It’s heavens place but this one lasts forever
Fictional for now. My Mother has Alzheimer's.
