It's just a matter of time a few days ago
I saw you, you were fine
Remembering what you said about the book you read
The one I got you the beginning of the end
Oh how we'd talk for hours upon end
What I would give just to do it again
You're lying there in this hospital bed
Won't you open your eyes and let's talk once again

If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face

Well I've been here all night and I'm watching you
Breathe in and breathe out
Is it really you or just a machine
That's giving you life and it's making it seemed
That there could be hope I could say to your face
If it weren't for you that there would be no grace
That's covered my life you took the time
To speak into my mind and my heart words of life

If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face

So goodbye for now
And I'll see you again some way, somehow
When it's my time to go to the other side
I'll hold you again and melt at your smile
Now all I have are the ones that I'm with
And you taught me not to take for granted
The time that we have to show that we care
Speak into their minds and their hearts while their here
And say I love you

If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I love you
I hope that you can hear me
I hope that you can feel me
If you fly away tonight
I want to tell you that I'm sorry
That I never told you
When we were face to face
