I See the Light

Do not fight me, I am about to die, 
Hold my hand; watch me cry.
Do not leave me, do not go, 
Like my mother did years ago.

I need you here, 
By my side; 
Hold my hand; let me cry.
Give me love, please do not hate.
I could not decide my own fate.

Take my hand, hold me tight; 
I don't think I'll make it through the night.
Thank-you for your love and tears, 
Those sleepless nights; 
Those candle-lit dinners.
Thank-you for everything, my lover, 
Thank-you for it all.

For it is night, 
But I; can see the light.
