Silently Into the Night

I hope you are with me when stars fill the sky. Come talk to me darling wipe the tear from your eye. Time's growing short now, my body is weary. This will be much easier as long as you're near me. Hold onto my hand, tell me one of your stories. What's that you say, here comes our boys? Peace fills my body and love fills my soul,for right at this moment my family is whole. Night draws so close and I long for some rest Tell everyone I'm ready, my body knows best. Silently into the night I leave from this place, with memories of you and the love on your face. I'll be by your side even after I've gone. Remember I'm waiting like the sun does for dawn.
