The Coming Dawn Thanatopsis

As the dew turns into frost

There is something that I hope will

Not be lost

The leaves will change, they'll start

To fall

I still wonder if it mattered much at

All



When my world starts to fade

I can only hope that every choice I

Made

Will endure, and carry on ... into the

Coming dawn



The breezes blow, soft clouds drift

By

Like some artists' canvas captured in

My eye

I am sure, I'm holding fast

I am dying for a lifetime that will last

But when my world, starts to fade

I'm still hoping this foundation that I

Laid

Will endure, and carry on ... into the

Coming dawn

We're so close, yet never touch

Can there be a love that changes me

This much

I can't see, eyes open wide

Yet I'll never doubt you're standing

By my side

When my world, starts to fade

I can only hope that every choice I

Made

Will endure, and carry on ... into the

Coming dawn
