The tears are flowing from my eyes I wonder if you hear my cries Such a long time has gone by Yet I recall the day perfectly in my mind Your body was cold as you whispered good-bye Yet, your deathly appearance made me hide Finally, I got the courage to speak on that dark date But, when I grabbed your hand, I was far too late Your hands had grown cold Your glow no longer gold Your eyes, so vibrant in the life I never thought you'd lose Had finally went dull, they had been dying since noon I screamed to the heavens, head in my hands My knees buckled, the inability to stand Forever I will hate my darkened heart All because its fear refused to let me say good bye at the start
