Final Letter
Verse I
Day one.
It turned into a thousand other ones.
Love letters grew.
Into a lifetime with you.
But how long?
Does a lifetime really last?
I just wanted to be.
Your first and your last.
So, while we have time.
I want to give you all I’ve got.
When I laugh and when I cry.
You’ll be there.
You’ll be mine.
Chorus
It will never be a good time to say goodbye.
So, hold me close and stay a little while.
‘Cause if you stay, I’ll be okay.
But if you fly, I’ll be afraid.
My angel, let me hold your wings down.
Verse II
You told me.
The important thing was.
That we have each other.
Our love and God above.
I wish.
I knew how to handle it all.
But a little touch from heaven.
And we’ll be all in all.
So, while we have time.
I want to give you all I’ve got.
When I laugh and when I cry.
You’ll be there and you’ll be mine.
Chorus
It will never be a good time to say goodbye.
So, hold me close and stay a little while.
‘Cause if you stay, I’ll be okay.
But if you fly, I’ll be afraid.
My angel, let me hold your wings down.
Verse III
You fought for me.
And fought for you.
Against all odds, and people.
I’d still choose you.
So, look at me.
Your eyes can’t hold secrets.
As long as we live.
Tell me you never leave us.
So, while we have our time.
I want to give you all I’ve got.
When I laugh and when I cry.
You’ll be there.
You’ll be mine.
Chorus
It will never be a good time to say goodbye.
So, hold me close and stay a little while.
‘Cause if you stay, I’ll be okay.
My angel, let me hold your wings down.
Bridge
The pain we endure is for a cure.
It’s for a cure.
What if we never met each other.
Who would hold your hand now?
Chorus
It will never be a good time to say goodbye.
So, hold me close and stay a little while.
‘Cause if you stay, I’ll be okay.
My angel, let me hold your wings down.
