Close My Eyes Forever

Close My Eyes Forever
 
When I finally close my eyes forever
Sadly lay eyes on you again no never
 
I don’t know how much longer I can hold on
Only memories will be left after I am gone
 
Light a candle to show the Holy Spirit the way
And here by my side I hope your gonna stay
 
I’m sinking into an everlasting sleep
Promises to yourself I hope you’ll keep
 
Before it comes time for me to part
I offer you the love in my bleeding heart
 
It’s done nothing but to pour rain outside
Remember all of the wild horses we got to ride
 
All of tears we cried run like a river to the sea
Of all of my earthly chains I will finally be free
 
Will the wings of an angel come to cover my remains?
And will freedom come to free me of all my chains?
 
I can only hope that heaven waits for me
From all of life’s pain I will finally be free
 
Please say you don’t have to go my sweetest friend
Cause it can get so lonely now in the peaceful end
 
Death is final and he’s come to my humble home
Here with you by my side I’m not dying alone
 
Please scatter my ashes on the beautiful blue sea
I pray that in your heart you always remember me
