Old heart, beating strong
Together we'll stop...
It won't be long.

Give it time, see me through
There are things...
We've yet to do.

We can't give up, not just yet
I have to make sure..
That my life is all set.

In due time, the sound will end
The music shared...
By life long friends.

Before we go, we must say goodbye
To those we cherish...
Whom we loved all our lives.

Walk the path, we've never taken
To ask forgiveness...
From those we've forsaken.

Handing out thanks, where it is due
For being kind to others...
As they were always kind to you.

Analyze the truth, see it as we may
For all through life...
We should have done this everyday.

Now it's time to go, no time for looking back
We cannot make up for...
All the years that we now lack.

Old heart, beating strong
Together we stop...
Our life is now gone.
