So i'll close my eyes.. Just like i'm sleeping...

Mother ill be fine.
I promise i'm okay.
Don't insist on being there.
Every second of each day.

I know what to expect.
Your presence will not mean a thing.

She sat down at the desk.
He look at her and said.
The words that stopped her sleeping.
Running over in her head.

Your cancer has spread.
You don't have long left.
There are things we could do.
To make it comfortable for you.

She turned to her mother.
Who was sitting by her side.
She said Mother please don't leave me.
I'm not ok, i lied.

The doctor looked confused.
My dear, who are you talking to?
She pointed and then paused.
What am i doing this for..?

You will not see my mother.
She is only seen by me.
She is with me everywhere.
She never ever leaves.

She'l be with me when i die.
She'l be waiting there for me.
Doctor, its ok,.
You can't do anything for me.

Months later, in a hospital.
She lay fragile and weak.
Slowly coming to the end of it all.
As she struggled to try and speak.

Mother, i don't feel fine.
I'm really not okay.
Please promise me your'll be there.
Every second of each day.

And when my time comes to be..
Called back home by God.
Please hold me hand and lead the way.
Don't let me get lost.

I need you to understand..

They did everything they could.

Just like they did when you had to suffer.

Longer than any one should.

So i'll close my eyes..

Just like i'm sleeping...

Wake me when were there.

To a place where i can be with you.

In a world that is always fair.
