Please don’t take any more of my friends
Leave me my family right up till the end
I can’t live without the smiles on their faces
The joy that I get from their heartfelt embraces
You’ve taken too many who I hold so dear
Each night for each one I shed a new tear
Why can’t you see the torment I feel?
Without them beside me my life seems unreal
So death I am asking please open your heart
Allow me some time with them before we depart
