Roses for love, lilies for death
I think of them both as I draw this last breath
They sit on the table at side of my bed
And I weakly smile as you cradle my head
I'm so weak from the chemo and tired from the drugs
And I cant help but wonder if my time has come,
But I'm not sad and you shouldn't be
After all this means theres no suffering for me
Please try not to cry as my eyes close for good
I didn't make it through like we all thought I would,
But that doesn't mean that you all have to cry
In the end every one of us is going to die
So dint cry when they lower me into my grave
And Ill still love you when I'm gone away
Tell my parents I love them and they raised me right
Tell them its because of them I put up such a fight
Tell all our friends they were the best I could ask for
I don't think I could have ever gotten more
And now kiss me and whisper one last time in my ear
That you love me and you'll never forget all the years
So now that Ive left you with these goodbyes I'm spent
There isn't an ounce of life in my body left
I'm going to heaven to have god at my side
And I'm sure its not his fault I cant still be alive
I promise Ill watch you until you can join me
And someday well be together again, you'll see
But the cancer has spread and its everywhere now
The doctors are still trying to save me but how?
As my heart stops beating I can see the light
And its all okay now, I feel alright
Be happy for me, please, now I can leave
And don't ever give up, always believe
The hardest part of death is leaving those you love
But I kept my promise, I'm watching over from above
