[Verse 1]

It's just a matter of time a few days ago

I saw you, you were fine

Remembering what you said

About the book you read

The one I got you

The Beginning of the End

Oh how we'd talk for hours upon end

What I would give just to do it again

But you're lying there in this hospital bed

Won't you open your eyes?

And let's talk once again

[Chorus]

If you fly away tonight

I want to tell you that I love you

I hope that you can hear me

I hope that you can feel me

If you fly away tonight

I want to tell you that I'm sorry

That I never told you

When we were face to face

[Verse 2]

Well I've been here all night and I'm watching you

Breathe in and breathe out

Is it really you or just a machine

That's giving you life and it's making it seem

That there could be hope

I could say to your face

If it weren't for you

That there would be no grace that's covered my life

You took the time to speak into my mind

And my heart words of life?

[Chorus]

If you fly away tonight

I want to tell you that I love you

I hope that you can hear me

I hope that you can feel me

If you fly away tonight

I want to tell you that I'm sorry

That I never told you

When we were face to face

[Bridge]

So goodbye for now

And I'll see you again some way, somehow

When it's my time to go to the other side

I'll hold you again and melt at your smile

Now all I have are the ones that I'm with

And you taught me not to take for granted

The time that we have to show that we care

Speak into their minds and their hearts

While they're here and say I love you

[Chorus]

If you fly away tonight

I want to tell you that I love you

I hope that you can hear me

I hope that you can feel me

If you fly away tonight

I want to tell you that I'm sorry

That I never told you

When we were face to face
