May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days, and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best, and example I tried to be
So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and living light
I want to go, I really do, it's difficult to stay
But I will try as best I can, to live just one more day
To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears
I know you're sad and afraid, because I can see your tears
I won't be far, I promise that, and I hope you'll always know
That my spirit will be close to you, wherever you may go
Thank you so for loving me, you know I love you too
That's why it's so hard to say goodbye, and end this life with you
So hold me now just one more time, and let me hear you say;
"Because I care so much for you, I'll let you go today."
Dedicated to my precious little girl, Brigitta
