Requiem

Dry your eyes

And try to smile

If you need it

I'm your shoulder to cry on

I'll stand you up

Take your hands

And twirl you around

Give you your slow dance

In an effort

To make you forget

Set your eyes on the stars

And keep your heart near mine

And we'll spin around

Slowly and deliberately

Treading lightly

Just to put your mind to rest

Shut your eyes

Count to ten

Take a deep breathe

And we'll begin again

Keep our feet in step

And our minds on other matters

Forget about the misery

For the time being

And we'll dance

No, we won't cry

Then I'll sing you to sleep

For the last time
