Before I close my eyes for the last time I wish to tell you I love you In your embrace, don't wish to let go In my heart, thousands of words I have yet to tell you I used all my strength to keep my eyes from closing After this farewell, there will be no more meetings, no more can I be by your side But please don't forget You promised me you will live on as well as you can
I'm leaving first, leaving for a faraway place I won't be able to watch the sunrise with you anymore I won't be able to wait for dawn Erasing all the memories, is not an easy thing But life & death are predestined, don't be too sad
