Dont want to go too soon
Dont want to stay too long
Dont want to go too quick into the night
Dont want to linger on and on
Dont want to leave you a mess
Id like to know when its comin
Just a little time to prepare
When the voice of midnight comes
And into oblivion I stare
Theres no one waitin on me
No heaven or hell
The only vow I make
To live true and die well
And when Im gone, Im gone
Will I hold onto the courage
To say goodbye to a life so dear
When the voice of midnight comes
Will grace overcome fear
(Bridge)
I was born under a lucky star
And Im thankful every day
And I know in the blink of an eye
It will all be taken away
(Interlude)
Maybe an open field
Under the stars and moon
With the smell of the land and the air
And not some hospital room
Ill take my comfort in song
Id like to know when its comin
Just a little time to prepare
When the voice of midnight comes
I hope youll be there
