THE END
How will I feel when the world stops turning?
I will see it in your eyes.
A long-cast shadow on a lonely road
In the end – it’s no surprise.
Loving hands, oh, they reach out to hold me,
But when you’re at the end – it’s the end.
Mmm… How will I know when the world stops turning?
When the time has come, my friend.
He was her prince and she his princess
A picture-perfect pair.
He never saw the car that hit him.
She was left in her despair.
Rainy day and a funeral service
The irony in her eyes.
How can she breathe another breath?
How can she say, goodbye?
How will I feel when the world stops turning?
I will see it in your eyes.
A long-cast shadow on a lonely road
In the end – it’s no surprise.
Loving hands, oh, they reach out to hold me,
But when you’re at the end – it’s the end.
Mmm… How will I know when the world stops turning?
When the time has come, my friend.
He held her hand, and she weakly smiled,
As a tear ran down his face.
70 years of the perfect friendship.
A marriage blessed in grace.
One last breath and she was gone.
He continued to hold her hand.
One last prayer and he passed, too.
With the heart of a loving man…
How will I feel when the world stops turning?
I will see it in your eyes.
A long-cast shadow on a lonely road
In the end – it’s no surprise.
Loving hands, oh, they reach out to hold me,
But when you’re at the end – it’s the end.
Mmm… How will I know when the world stops turning?
When the time has come, my friend.
How will I know when the world stops turning?
When the time has come, my friend.
