The room is dim, a slow fading light,
I hold your hand through this long painful night.
Sixty years of love we built so strong,
Just know my love, "I won’t be long."
Remember all the storms we battled through,
I always found my strength in you.
With not many riches we still belonged,
Just know my love, "I won’t be long."
(Chorus)
This is not to be our last goodnight,
A love like ours don’t fade with light.
Though this goodbye feels so wrong,
It’s not forever, it’s just so long.
We sang out loud though we were out of key,
I followed you, and you followed me.
Through every storm, our hearts stayed strong,
Just know my love, "I won’t be long."
We raised our kids to be strong and true,
I see your heart in everything they do.
Your love will guide them after you’re gone,
Just know my love, "I won’t be long."
(Chorus)
This is not to be our last goodnight,
A love like ours don’t fade with light.
Though this goodbye feels so wrong,
It’s not forever, it’s just so long.
The machines grow still, your breathing is slow,
I hold you close, not ready to let go.
When you leave, and when you're gone,
Just know my love, "I won’t be long."
(Bridge)
I’ll shed these tears I have to let you go,
I’ll feel the ache much more than I show.
But tears will change to joy beyond the cries,
When I come home to you in paradise.
So go and rest where the pain is gone,
Where your heart is light and your soul is strong.
Sixty years of doing right and little wrong,
Just know my love, "I won’t be long."
(Chorus)
This is not to be our last goodnight,
A love like ours don’t fade with light.
Though this goodbye feels so wrong,
It’s not forever, it’s just so long.
Paradise is closer than it seems,
I’ll find you there between my dreams,
So don’t you worry I will stay strong,
(Spoken words)
"Just know my love… I won’t be long."
