Let me hold your hand, my friend.
Let me guide you on your way
As you approach the end.

I cannot comprehend
This dying light of day.
Let me hold your hand, my friend.

Into darkness we descend,
To my horror and dismay,
As you approach the end.

And though I can't pretend
That your love I can repay.
Let me hold your hand, my friend.

The time you've left to spend
Slips cruelly away
As you approach the end.

How can I contend
With what death has to say.
Let me hold your hand, my friend
As you approach the end.
