The night feels so cold and lonely
As darkness closes in
You've held my heart all these many years
Now please just hold my hand

To feel the gentleness in your touch
To see the love that's in your eyes
Gives me the comfort that I need
In my journey to the other side

Let the children know I love them
And that I'll miss them more than life
Tell them to take good care of their mother
And that we'll meet again in time

As I close my weary eyes
To rest from all they've seen
Memory recalls the journey taken
And the wondrous life it's been

With your sweet lips upon my forehead
Deep down inside I smile
For that was all the push I needed
To start this, my final ride
