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 talked for hours upon end What I would give just to do it again Your lying there in this hospital bed Won't you open your eyes and let's talk once again? If you fly away tonight I wanna tell you that I love I hope that you can hear me, I hope that you can feel me If you fly away tonight I wanna 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 making it seem That there could be hope I could say it to your face if it weren't for you then There would be no grace that's covered my life You took the time to speak into my mind And my harsh words were lies If you fly away tonight I wanna 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 wanna tell you that I'm sorry That I never told you when we were face to face
