Laying down head on the sand Streaks of black mix with the sunlight You turn your head to meet my stare And for a moment I feel alive You turn again to watch the sea And count the seconds 'til the sun sets You mumble something to yourself It's something that you cannot profess You said Soon you'll go away And I can't make you stay Soon you'll go away And I can't make you stay Soon you'll go away And I can't make you stay Is there somebody that can hold you in their arms When I won't have the strength to be around Is there somebody who will talk to you at night At times when I'm too far from town Let them know that lilies are your favourite Tell them roses just won't do Let them know that you like sunsets not sunrises Tell them someone still loves you Because Soon I'll go away And I wish I could stay Soon I'll go away And I wish I could stay
