Gently

We used to hear our voices on the winds that stirred the trees And together watch the snow fall, every moment we would seize Drinking till the morning light and sleeping on the beach Funny how we thought we knew the things that life could teach us So sure that death would never reach us So many years between us, so much history has past The changes we have gone through, all the things we thought would last We thought we made our choices in the face of Destiny But Destiny chose for us as far as I can see It's just too bad for you, and worse for me So bury deep the bones, and wipe away the tears Set the dream in stone to last a thousand years Listen to the breezes blow, and watch the silent falling snow And the memories will know that I was here I think a lot about us now looking back across the years How we lived for every hope and dream, never dreaming of the fears we'd face As time grows short, and colors bleed to white The hour is upon us to at last give up the fight I believe I'm going gently… So bury deep the bones, and wipe away the tears Set the dream in stone to last a thousand years Listen to the breezes blow, and watch the silent falling snow And the memories will know that I was here Let the dying light remind me Of the friends I leave behind me I'll be thinking of you kindly as I leave with no regrets There's nothing here for you now Leave me gently, let me go Tell me once more that you love me So the memories will know.
