I won’t say goodbye
Now is not the time
I need to be strong for you and not cry
You look so weary as your life’s slipping by
Not really aware the end is nigh
Punch drunken speech from the liquid morphine high
Fading away with the blink of an eye

I won’t say goodbye
Now is not the time
Here’s where you belong, not the afterlife
I love you dearly Nan, please don’t die!!
You’ve still so much to live for, even at 89
Hunch, slumped sleep, straying towards the light
Frail and afraid, slowly losing the fight

I won’t say goodbye
Now is not the time
I’m choking on my feelings and emotions inside
As your blood pressures dropping, the tears I can’t hide
Now just hours away from the other side
Flat lined bleeps as you leave your body behind
A beautiful soul taken and in Heaven resides
I’ll never forget your love and how you were kind
Goodnight, God bless and forever sleep tight
