This thing called death

This thing called Death Lay me down by the one I love In the light from the moon above Let me hear his quiet breath As we face this thing called death Let me gaze upon his face Feel his body his warm embrace See the way he looks at me This is how love is supposed to be Lay me down by the one I love In the light from the moon above Let me hear his quiet breath As we face this thing called death Let me hold him close to me Still his worries and his fears Let him know that I am near Help me please to dry his tears Lay me down by the one I love In the light from the moon above Let me hear his quiet breath As we face this thing called death The time has come for us to part I ask you please mend his broken heart Let him rest in the love we share This my Lord is my final prayer Lay me down by the one I love In the light from the moon above Let me hear his quiet breath As we face this thing called death
