I have known you for so long
You have been a son to me
And I know it won't be long
This is my dying minute plea
Our stars aligned
The day you ran
Into the arms of my future wife
You’re no artist of surprise
But let me know
Before you walk towards the light

Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away
Give me a sign
Before you walk towards the light
Time and time you’ve been my ears
I will always be your hands
If you call if danger's near
I'll carve the year next to your name in sand

Our stars aligned
The day you ran
Into the arms of my future wife
You're no artist of surprise
But let me know
Before you walk towards the light

Don't you walk away
Don't you walk away
Give me a sign
Before you walk towards the light
You're like a son…
Give me a sign
Before you walk towards the light
