I’d like to see the world before I’m gone No time to realize my dreams I haven’t got too long It’s hard to comprehend eternity There’s no-one on the other side to wait for me you see
Chorus
Stayed wide awake all night Well I’ll dream today Still afraid I’ll close my eyes and fade away When sound asleep at last You elude my mind Will I ever wake again, in Paradise?
Verse 2
I’ve seen the end My dearest friends Wherever are you now? A silent watch before you cast me down Make no mistake I’ll leave this place whenever I so choose I never meant to leave you all so soon
