I have loved you and I’ve held you.
Many years,you have been mine;
If the time has come for parting
Let us embrace for one last time.
You know you have to leave me,
Though you desire a longer stay.
Let me hold you in my arms now
For tonight and one more day.
Then I’ll watch you travel on,sweet.
We seem take the last step quite alone.
I’ll be here beside you watching.
I shall sense when you are gone.
May you accept, may you surrender.
I hope you reach the promised land.
Into this earth my tears will fall, love,
As I recall your tender hands.
