I Hope There's Love in Letting Go

I Know It's Coming

I know what doctor said. 
Can't get her words out of my head. 
And I know I know nothing, 
but hey, I swear, there must be something. 

And if the answer lives 41 miles away, 
or down the road, 
I'll go with you and stay; 
until I know; until it's over.

If the medicine don't work, 
if the drugs are hard to take,  
If the whole world starts to blur, 
you can hold my hands as yours start to shake. 
I won't let you slip away. 
I won't let you slip away. 

I want to listen to you when you 
use up all your breath to speak.  
But I can't look at you without 
waterfalls of acid down my cheeks. 

And I'm sorry that I downplay this. 
I'm sorry, but you have to be okay. 
You have to be okay. 

And if the medicine don't work, 
if the drugs are hard to take, 
If the whole world starts to blur,
you can hold my hands as yours start to shake. 
I won't let you slip away. 
I'm not letting you let you slip away. 

If the tunnel is approaching, 
if the midnight hour brings light, 
promise me that you're not going. 
Promise me you'll fight. 
How do I hide that I'm not coping? 
That I know you're not alright? 
I'm so scared to keep on hoping. 
I'm so scared that you won't fight. 

If the medicine don't work,
if there's no drugs left to take, 
if the whole world starts to blur,
if you can't feel my hands when they shake... 
And what if there's nothing I can do when it comes to take you away? 
What if there's nothing I can do when it comes to take you away? 

I know it's coming to take you away. 
I know it's coming to take you away. 
How do I let you slip away? 

I know what Doctor said. 
Can't get her words out of my head. 
And I know I know nothing, 
other than this fear that's rushing in. 

I know it's coming to take you away. 
I know it's coming.  

'I Know It's Coming' - 07/05/23.
In loving memory of Rhonda. ♡ 

I wrote this song in the early hours of this morning, and then found out this afternoon at work that my dear friend had passed away. She is a newly-wed, has 3 children, and 4 step-children. Please, please, please keep her entire family in your prayers.

She was one of the kindest, sweetest, most joyful women I have ever met, and she was such an incredible person. You'd have a hard time finding someone more lovely than her. This world is gonna miss her. I sure am. ♡

Peace, perfect peace.
