The clock on the wall is still ticking
The dawn may yet break one last time
But this candle is starting to flicker

The bells are beginning to chime
The photo beside me is faded
But the light still shines bright in your eyes

I remember the first time I met you
You looked clean through my disguise


I'm sitting now here by the window
Just watchin the rain
All the tears that I cried for you

Never broke through the pain
I know you ain't coming
But I'm tryin to be brave

I let you down once too often
I dug my own grave


But my heart won't forget yours
Though the years have flowed by
Come hell or high water

We're all under one sky
I love you my darling
But now it's goodbye

I love you my darling
Till the moment I die


Now is my time to surrender
To leave behind all I hold dear
But there's nothing I wouldn't give darlin

Just to have you here
I always dreamed we'd get together
Before we got old

But the sands are running out quick now
Tomorrow I'll be laid out cold


The clock on the wall is still ticking
The dawn may yet break one last time
But this candle is starting to flicker

The bells are beginning to chime
The photo beside me is faded
But I'll take you once more in my arms

And while the music's still playing
We'll have one last dance
