If I were to be no more,

 what would you do,

 what would you say?

 If my time had come,

 and my day be done

would you,

 could you still pray?

zzz

 For these are my thoughts,

These are my fears

 And they haunt me everyday.

 I long so much to be by your side,

To hold your hand, to make you smile.

 but the night is calling my name,

 and now it is time for me,

alas time for me to say goodbye.

zzz

So, pray tell,

If this were true of today,

Could you bid my soul its leave?

Or would you cry and plead me to stay?

zzz

Answer me now, and do so quick,

As the hands of time, continue to click.

For I hear the night, that calls my name.

Tell me now, that I may know.

Answer me, so that I may lay peace to my soul,

For the night is calling my name......
