Passing On

All my life,
I tried so hard,
but I was afraid to walk alone,
Midnight came when we were kids,
You were afraid so I walked with you,
Singing songs till the night was almost gone,
Holding hands,
Only letting go when you were nearly home.

Side by side,
We face the sun,
The anchor of all men in love,
You will be the only one,
When everything is said and done,
In the morning I'll be gone.

Life is what it makes of you,
So don't be afraid to walk alone,
Baby scream when they are bored,
So I'm not afraid of passing on,
Sing me songs,
For my time has almost come,
Hold me close,
And I'll let you know when I am nearly home,

Side by side,
We face the sun,
The anchor of all men in love,
You will be the only one,
When everything is said and done,
In the morning I'll be gone
