Last Minutes. (Double Triolet)

by Steven Beesley   Feb 5, 2006


Final Minutes:

A calmness coming over me.
The end is near, I have no fear.
You are what my heart wants to see!
A calmness coming over me.
My love forever you will be.
Please, oh please do not shed your tear.
A calmness coming over me.
The end is near, I have no fear.

These last minutes with you my dear.
Death cannot take away our love.
In spirit I will be so near.
These last minutes with you my dear.
Do not cry for me, do not fear.
I will be watching from above.
These last minutes with you my dear.
Death cannot take away our love.
