As I Drift Away
I lay here in my bed
Just holding my heart so
With a bandage on my head
I cant wait till I can go
I have lived my life so well
Taking pills and praying strong
Trying to stay out of Hell
While livin by my lord’s will
And so I look upon the stars
This could be my last night
Trying to find the peace within
Trying to find that golden light…..
Do you know when the end is
When the clock has run down
When all the world will pass you by
The day your in the ground
Do you wonder what will happen
The days your not there
Will your family realize
Or will you just disappear……
The day I go home has come
No balloons or signs to see
No one to greet me at my home
NO one waiting for me
The house is all alone
Darken by the tree’s
No one there for me
I just make my way on in
To a darken home I see
Lonely once again
My life should end in misery
Do you know when the end is
When the clock has run down
When all the world will pass you by
The day your in the ground
Do you wonder what will happen
The days your not there
Will your family realize
Or will you just disappear……
As I walk about the hallway
Looking back at me
A face I recognize
It makes me feel a glee
My wife is greeting with arms
Tears a rolling down
She knows of what the future is
When her life is turned upside down
The clock is running out
Nothing we can do
The cancer ate away my brain
I guess that I am doomed…..
Do you know when the end is
When the clock has run down
When all the world will pass you by
The day your in the ground
Do you wonder what will happen
The days your not there
Will your family realize
Or will you just disappear……
As I lay in the bed
Looking up so high
Breathing my last breath
Right before I die
I hold my wife’s hand
She’s there next to me
It is all that I can stand
We’ll be together for eternity
And so I close my eyes
Dreaming of those stars
When I will be with her
Then she wont be so far….
Do you know when the end is
When your life has come to pass
Will you make that last impression
That one often has
What will your friends say
Does your family realize
Or do you drift away
And no one really cries
And so I ask today
Will my days be told
When everyone has come and gone
And my great grandkids are old.
