An Unfair Farewell
Do not speak i see the fear
Show a smile wipe off that tear
Close your eyes I'll be right here
Do not fret and do not speak
Dry those teardrops from your cheek
I will not be gone for long
In case i am here is a song
Strong for me i wish and pray
In case you know I cannot stay
In your heart i forever be
See make sure you are happy
Even though you can't see my face
Picture mine I'll be with you anyplace
If I told you this was a lie
I know damn well that you would die
So I say it to keep you safe
Don't count sheep and do not pace
Your heart is to big of a place
So in the words you once told me
Love is for the living and sleep is for the dead
Though its true it's metaphor
It leads you to another door
And even though it sounds like dread
I died in your heart but not your head
So please wipe off that tear
Though I'm gone I'll be right here
