Long before I have to die I'll come to you in a lullaby And long before I have to leave I'll touch you softly on your sleeve Long before I go Long before I go Long before I have to fly I'll lift you laughing to the sky And long before I cease to breathe I'll sing of things that I believe Long before I go Long before I go Long before I say goodbye I'll kiss you as you start to cry And long before the time to grieve I'll be the wind in the autumn leaves Long before I go Long before I go |
