The leaves they fall
Upon the day that makes a memory
Those pleading eyes
Echoing, silently in me
The final nights
I guard her sleep, I can do without
The fear's down deep
There's nothing good in this morning
Oh, and I know
Invested feelings in the one I would outlast
My little friend is getting tired, fading fast
Did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame
I need to have more time
Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye to my little friend
Don't want to let you go
The warmest heart I've found
I lower into the ground
My tears, forever with you
Resting under your tree
You have always loved this place
It now belongs to you
I need to set you free
And go on alone
One day in my feeble timeline
You gave me your heart and stole my heart
Tomorrows came too fast for me
To hear your slow, silent goodbye
The kindest heart I've found
I lowered into the ground
Your smile kept me alive
Back when the skies were still
You always liked this place
Now sleep under the tree
I planted here the day
When you were born
I should've been ready, seen the nearing end
My little old friend, a child
That day I had to say goodbye and turn the bend
But I'll never let go
