[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm so afraid that one day I will lie awake
In this bed we’ve made and you’ll be just a memory
The cancer took all your breath away from me
What I’d miss the most is laughing at your awful jokes
And the certainty that you would never hurt me
But life’s not fair and we only get so much time

[Chorus]
The bell is tolling, it’s softly pulling all of us to sleep
The loved ones we lose will stay with you
In your heart and in your dreams
The physical is just a means

[Verse 2]
What I’d do in this world without you
Is climb the highest mountain so we could be together again
I’d starve and I’d freeze to death
Under star dust of your eyes

[Chorus]
The bell is tolling, it’s softly pulling all of us to sleep
The loved ones we lose will stay with you
In your heart and in your dreams
The physical is just a means
[Verse 3]
Everyone I’ve ever loved will fade away into the sun
Everything that I am now will rust away
Do not fear the fading light, eternally this is what’s right
Maybe what you thought was God was really just the love that you had for the ones who you can’t live without

[Chorus]
The bell is tolling, it’s softly pulling all of us to sleep
The loved ones we lose will stay with you
In your heart and in your dreams
The physical is just a means
