Final Embrace



Can you hear me crying in the middle of the night,
Can you feel me drowning in sorrow.
Just take me into your arms & hold me tight,
Just embrace me this last time, cause I'll be gone tommorow.

Moments of precious fleeting glimpses pass,
Every breath sweet I now cherish.
Time's running away from us too fast,
Hold me now, cause tommorow I shall perish.

Oh, do you remember when we first met.
Do you remember when we first kissed,
Do you remember what you said,
When I told you it would end like this.

Hold me close & lay here with me.
Never fear, cause I'll always be with you.
It was always meant to be,
Me & you, in a hole made for two.
