I walk away but count my steps
Just in case you call me back
But if you don't want me to stay
Tell me now and I'll slip away
When I no longer see your face
Hear your laugh or feel your embrace
When you are finally out of sight
Life's colors fade to black and white
Though every hour feel like the last
I watch the day by days go past
In silent action learned by rote
Like melody ending on a somber note
Played in some high minor key
All of this before I cease to be
So as I feel approaching Death
Listen yet, my final wavering breath:
I whispered my love in a song
And there it echoes, forever long!
