Will You Be There When I Say Goodbye

Will You Be There When I Say Goodbye

Will you be there when I say goodbye?
Will you sit by my side?
Will you kiss my forehead?
Will you wipe the tears from my eye?
Will you fold your arms
Around my shoulder, hug me tight
When I say my final goodnight?
I don't want to go alone,
To a world unknown,
A world I am not familiar with;

Will You be there when I say goodbye?
