Hold this heart when I go
Sing my song when I go
Sing it loud when I go
Sing it proud when I go
Some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
But I know that I'll be yearning to fly
When my, when my, when my soul
Takes leave of this world
When I leave this flesh and these bones
Oh, I swear to you that you won't have to go alone
Hold this heart when I go
Sing my song when I go
Sing it loud when I go
Sing it proud when I go
Some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
But I know that I'll be yearning to fly
The first time my heart collided with yours
You know I felt the ocean tickle the Earth's sandy shores
But changes come and we, oh no, we can't, we can't stop them
But I hold these memories, and I will never drop them
And I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
Oh, my care will cover you
Just like the morning dew
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
Oh, my care will cover you
Just like the morning dew
Hold this heart when I go
Sing my song when I go
Sing it loud when I go
Sing it proud when I go
Some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
But I know that I'll be yearning to fly
Oh, the thought of death
Has yet to make me afraid
'Cause I will march right out of this world into the next
Like its a grand parade
But if you feel lonely
Just like you want to run and hide
Then I will wrap my wings around you
And give you strength and I won't leave your side
And I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
Oh, my care will cover you
Just like the morning dew
I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
You know I'd love to get to heaven,
You know I'd love to see the view
But first I think I'll stay and watch over you.
Oh, I'll watch over you
I'll watch over you
Hold this heart when I go
Sing my song when I go
Sing it loud when I go
Sing it proud when I go
Some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
And some people are learning to die,
And some people are yearning to fly
But I know that I'll be yearning to fly
When my, when my, when my soul
Takes leave of this world
When I leave this flesh and these bones
Oh, I swear to you that you won't have to go alone
Hold this heart when I go
Sing my song when I go
Sing it loud when I go
Sing it proud when I go
Some people are learning to die,
