As I ready myself to leave
Pull the sheets tight over me
Have the priest read my last rights
Say a prayer and say goodbye

Let’s reminisce on what we had
Treasure the little we have left
Lean on the strength of what we believe
We shall meet again in eternity

As the lights in my eyes quickly dim
And our voices like whispers on the wind
Giving God full control of the helm
To steer this vessel into another realm

Just so you know, I won’t leave you alone
In your heart of hearts I will make my home
Living on in thought and deed
As sweet as any memory can be

As for now I’ll take my final bow
Going down for the last count
From death there’s no more need to hide
Say a prayer and say goodbye
