Just a little while longer

I cant stand sitting here doing nothing as you lie on the white bed
everyday the nurse comes to check your pulse and make sure your well fed

Your face once bright with shining eyes
now pale and constricted with pain
as you fight against the odds
of the path that god has lain

how long will you last until you give up and leave me forever
i think about this everyday
but i never answer.....never

i sit here watching you
wishing i could help you fight
but all i can do is hold your hand and tell you everything will be alright

i know I'm lying and you do too
but its the best that i can do
i cant give up hope that the doctors are wrong
and that you'll be up on your feet
that this was just some nightmare all along

But i know its real cause i can see your eyes
begging me to let you go, that its time to die
but i just want to be with you a little while longer
until i pull the plug keeping you from getting stronger

i rest my hand upon your cold cheek
as i pull the plug and watch you drift asleep
i whisper in your ear
"I'll always love you"
as you disappear
