Scene begins as a telephone rings.
|
Chokes a gasp at the awful news it brings.
|
A phone call she's been avoiding.
|
She knows he's reached the end.
|
|
Hooked up to the respirator.
|
It breaths life into my callused lungs.
|
My heart beats getting fainter.
|
I know my time has come.
|
|
It's getting colder
|
been trying to show her
|
that I'm not the one
|
to be there beside her now
|
I'm crossing over
|
can no one console her
|
alone she'll remain
|
with no way to end this pain.
|
|
Now I realize the things that I
|
(All of the things that I wanted in this world)
|
the things I have done to you
|
(What have I done to you)
|
why you gave your love with all your heart.
|
(Hands went way to fast)
|
With all that a heart could give.
|
|
Intentions that you'll never know
|
the reason why I have to lead astray
|
I gave you a life time of pain and remorse
|
(Mistakes that were never yours)
|
the wrong in my life can never be right.
|
(It flashes before my eyes)
|
|
(How did he come to this,
|
His mind is working harder than ever before.
|
Thousands of thoughts in seconds.
|
His last thoughts were of her,
|
and how he and he alone had destroyed the once
|
vibrant spirit he had coveted so deeply.
|
The last pain he had ever caused is to the only
|
woman that had ever loved him...)
|
|
Bright light is calling me upward.
|
(All alone)
|
I follow and leave you below
|
(A ghost for now)
|
Now you're all alone.
|
(All alone)
|
And I leave you with nobody by your side.
|
(A ghost for now)
|
Not to hurt you ever again
|
(All alone)
|
Never break your spirit for me.
|
(A ghost for now)
|
Now I'm all alone.
|
(All alone)
|
Still I cherish the things that you have given to me.
|
(A ghost for now)
|
Bright light is calling me upward
|
(All alone)
|
I follow and leave you below
|
(A ghost for now)
|
Now
