The hands of time are gripping my throat
As days pass by, and I'm starting to choke up
One by one, our future's length wanes
I'm panicking, and it's starting to rain
Don't let your mind entertain these thoughts
Think of each day and the blessings it brought
Don't let your mind get ahead of itself
I try not to think of how this will end
But the cold, hard truth is unwilling to bend
We'll say goodbye for the last time someday
It's unfair, it's unkind, but it's the only way
Don't let your mind entertain these thoughts
Think of each day and the blessings it brought
Don't let your mind get ahead of itself
I can't keep the voices at bay
They're whispering in my ear
The paralyzation grows stronger
You say there's no room for fear
But when we said "I do"
We weren't thinking of our last days lived alone
So when I say I love you, I mean all that that entails
And in need you to know what I know
Oh, Lord, please bless us with long lives
And help me not to think of when death will arrive
