If I should go before you
When that long night comes
We'll meet in the ever after
Please don't follow me into the sun
If you should cross the white light
And find yourself in the black
I'll be right there behind you
You will have no need to look back
And when the night cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love will remain
Until we meet again
If I should go before you
Into the great unknown
I'll leave my ghost right beside you
You won't have to wait alone
And when the night cries itself awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love will remain
Until we meet
Crying ourselves awake
Dying in the light of day
Our endless love will remain
Until we meet again
