To The River (Traditional)

I have to go I won't be back here again. 
It breaks my heart to leave you 
But it's what I must do.

Please don't leave me here. 
What will I do without your love. 
It flows through my veins keeping me alive.

Ohhh what will we do.
How can I live without you.

You've fought so hard against this fate. 
You must allow it to be so. 
I know it's hard but our time is done.

I'll hold you tight and not let go. 
A moment that can never end. 
Please help me dear to let it last forever.

Ohhh what will we do.
How can I live without you.

The times we've had have not always been good.
We've fought a lot more than we ever should.
But now I'd give almost anything to have them back.
Now all we'll have are memories instead.

The time has come for us to part.
And rip our little hearts apart. 
Let's stand here in the sun and be one and warm.

We kiss. It lasts the longest time.
You smile - no tears are in your eyes.
You slowly walk away and we both laugh.

Ohhh what will we do.
How can I live without you.

The Goodbye Song

Letting Go

Original song by Death Cab for Cutie

"Love of mine, some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me,
"Son, fear is the heart of love."
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark"
