Lingering
I feel death lingering like a cloud over my head
Every step I take I feel his presence behind me
keeping the pace
I have my shield and my guard up knocking him down
and fighting him off everyday
But it seems no matter what I do he gets back up again
laughing and pointing in my face
I'm constantly praying asking please Lord not today
Thank you for blessing me with another day but......
Lord please don't take my best friend away
I feel God and Death are having a war
God says you guys aren't done yet you can still give more
The pain is so much to bare
Watching your best friend suffer from day in to day out
And you seem to be the only one that's there
So death is in the lead now because he's feeding off of your
hopelessness and despare
It's hard to understand I know and believe me I'm scared
Death doesn't care that I need my husband and my children
want and need him there
Death wants what he wants and it's far from fair
When we got married we thought the rest of our lives wouldn't be
until our senior years
Everyday we feel deaths tauntings and it puts you in a state of fear
One day I was sitting there and he whispered his real name in my ear
I picked up the phone and he said Suprise cancer is here!
Every step I take I feel his presence behind me
keeping the pace
I have my shield and my guard up knocking him down
and fighting him off everyday
But it seems no matter what I do he gets back up again
laughing and pointing in my face
I'm constantly praying asking please Lord not today
Thank you for blessing me with another day but......
Lord please don't take my best friend away
I feel God and Death are having a war
God says you guys aren't done yet you can still give more
The pain is so much to bare
Watching your best friend suffer from day in to day out
And you seem to be the only one that's there
So death is in the lead now because he's feeding off of your
hopelessness and despare
It's hard to understand I know and believe me I'm scared
Death doesn't care that I need my husband and my children
want and need him there
Death wants what he wants and it's far from fair
When we got married we thought the rest of our lives wouldn't be
until our senior years
Everyday we feel deaths tauntings and it puts you in a state of fear
One day I was sitting there and he whispered his real name in my ear
I picked up the phone and he said Suprise cancer is here!
