Lyrics

There was a light

So dear to me

I wanted to live

There was a time

So near to me

I asked you to give your life to me

If it's a sign

Sent down to me

I'm asking you why

It had to be

Spending all my time

Waiting to die

What's the use

There was a light

So dear to me

I wanted to live

There was a time

So dear to me

I asked you to give your life to me
