I'm watching you as you sleep,
you're off in peaceful rest
I am not here to weep,
I'm here alone to do my best
To be the man I need to be,
to face the pain and not to cry
I'm here to say hello,
I'm here to say goodbye

Oh how I'm missing you
But you're not coming back
I say goodbye to you...
Then my world goes black

I'm watching you as you sleep,
I wonder where you are
Are you here close to me,
or have you traveled very far
Have you been sent for from above,
by voices I can't comprehend
I'm here to send you off,
to watch your earthbound journey end

Oh how I'm missing you
But you're not coming back
I say goodbye to you...
Then my world goes black

I'm watching you as you sleep,
I wonder where you are
Are you here close to me,
or have you traveled very far
Have you been sent for from above,
by voices I don't comprehend
I'm here to send you off,
to watch your earthbound journey end

Oh how I'm missing you
But you're not coming back
I say goodbye to you...
Then my world goes black

Let down holiday, a day that
you and I will share
I say goodbye to you and
show you on this day I care I leave with no regrets well
then I turn and say goodbye
I'll see you soon my friend,
once again well meet on high

I'm watching you as you sleep,
you're off in peaceful rest
I am not here to weep,
I'm here alone to do my best
To be the man I need to be,
to face the pain and not to cry
I'm here to say hello,
I'm here to say goodbye

Oh how I'm missing you
But you're not coming back
I say goodbye to you...
Then my world goes black
