If I lean a little closer
To your smoky-smelling vest

If I kiss a little slower
As you breathe your dying breath

If I tell you that I love you
As the tears roll down your cheeks

If I stay to hold your hand
As days turn into weeks

If you don't need me anymore
Because you are all healed

If I don't recognize you now
Because the past is sealed

If you find yourself alone again
But long for one last chance

If you whisper my name to me
I may spare you a glance
