I held your hand that afternoon
As I watched you fade away
You were gone in an instant
Cause in the end, nothing stays

I went to the funeral that night
And I watched them bless your soul
Pennies for the ferry to the afterlife
My tears fall and the bells toll

I want to hold you one last time
I want to give you one last goodbye
And I swore I saw your face
Washed away in the rain
I wish I could rest in peace

I cried for you tonight
And I left flowers on your grave
And I thought I heard your voice
It must have been a dream

But I finally met your eyes (met your eyes)
Embraced you, then I could see (then I could see)
You smiled for me one last time (one last time)
And disappeared, memento mori (memento mori)

I want to hold you one last time
So I gave you one last goodbye
And then I saw your face
Fade away in the rain
Oh, now we can rest in peace
