I held you hand as you slipped away, 
I begged God for one more day. 
One short life ends one long day, 
So many things I didn't say.


It's been 5 years since you slipped away.
The desolate feeling never seems to stray. 
I held your hand as you slipped away,
I begged God for one more day.
One short life ends one long day,
The room fell still, the sky turned gray.


So many things I didn’t say.
It’s been five years since you slipped away.
The desolate feeling never seems to stray,
Your empty chair still keeps its place.


Ten years now and the seasons change,
Leaves still fall but they don’t feel strange.
I speak your name when it starts to rain,
Like thunder rolling through my veins.


Twenty five years, my hair turned white,
Your picture’s faded, my grip holds tight.
I’ve learned to smile in the morning light,
But every dusk still feels like night.
Chorus
Time keeps turning its rusted key,
Locks the past but won’t set me free.
Every road bends back to you and me,
Love don’t fade, it just waits patiently.
Through every ache and memory,
Your shadow walks right next to me.


Fifty years and my bones feel thin,
This old heart’s wearing through its skin.
Doctors whisper where I’ve been,
But I just close my eyes and grin.
Last Verse
I held my breath as I slipped away.
One long life ends one short day.
A sweet release of life’s decay.
I’m going to see my love today.
Ending
I see a bright light gleaming,
I hold my eyes shut, my ears are ringing.
Once again my life has meaning,
I can hear my angel singing.

Time can turn its rusted key,
There’s no more lock on you and me.
Every road led back to eternity,
Love was waiting patiently.
No more ache or memory,
Just your hand reaching out for
