When the hour comes To face the endless night As I watch the world around Fade from sight When the teardrops fill my eyes As I say my last goodbye When riches count for nothing And the faces I know and love All became a passing dream
You are my hope, my inspiration My one, true constant friend And on this road my final destination And in this world my only consolation When all is false, on your light will I depend Because you are the living end
When after all the joys My life draws to a close With not a soul beneath The sun to ease my woes When the seasons do What they must To return all things to dust When my prayers are scattered to the winds When my senses desert me And all is forgotten
You are my hope, my inspiration My one, true constant friend And on this road my final destination And in this world my only consolation When all is lost, on your love will I depend Because you are the living end
