i sit here beside you
everyday
and watch you slowly
slip away
i've cried the tears
and felt the grief
and held together
just for you
i've seen the pain
rake your face
and all the memories
disappears
i hold my hand
over yours
and love you more
every day
our time is running
out i know
the doctors all
tell me so
but i fight for you
within my heart
i hold on tight
to you my love
it isn't easy
for me some days
to get around
to make it here
but long as your
still with me
i'll always find
the strength in me
you've always been
my solid rock
now its my turn
to be yours
the years may fade
and you'll forget
and emptiness
will fill your eyes
but i'll be there
at your side
when it comes time
to say goodbye
