Death is a lonely business
But nobody can do it for me
I would die alone if i had my choice
Not attended by machines and voices on loudspeakers
Nor strangers in white
I do not hate myself
anymore
No regrets
except for the fears
that have robed my of 25 years of love
Awake to find myself
old and alone
a life time of loving has passed me by
self pity is gone
only laughter reamins
for the fool that i still am in love with life
just a quater century too late
but better late than never
I am a leaf hanging clinging to the tree of life
waiting for the next autumn breeze
waiting to break free
after all these years i am still alive
cut me loose let me fly
thinking of the words of another song
Love is but a song we sing
And fear’s the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
You may not know why
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment’s sunlight
Fading in the grass yeah
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song we sing
You will understand
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It’s there at your command
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Try to love one another right now
Try to love one another right now
