[Verse 1]
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
But you're lying there in this hospital bed
Won't you open your eyes?
And let's talk once again

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 seem
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?
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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 they're here and say I love you

[Chorus]
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
