The years have chased me
Sickness has chased me too
None of that has mattered while I’ve had you
But now I ask for just a little more time
There’s more that I still have yet to do, to see
Doctors have told me to get things in order
Time is running out
I’m not leaving til I’m leaving
I need to finish all I’ve started
I beg the good lord again for more time
You cry yourself to sleep upon my shoulder
I place you gently in your bed
Watching your chest inhale, exhale as you drift off to sleep
Hoping, praying that I will go quick
So you don’t have to worry over me
Just remember me as I will remember you
Drifting off to a dream land filled with me
I beg you lord, I just need a little more time
A Need For More Time©
