My sweet nurse, you're always here
Through thick through thin
You're always near
But my sight is growing dim
You run your fingers on my skin
Although it's gray and full of sin
Each and every single day
You try to take the pain away
You wash my sweaty tattered hair
And open my windows for some fresh air
And each and every time
When you say your sweet little line
Let's get better, shall we?
You try to be here as much as you can
And I appreciate you with all I am
If I could just show you
But what can I do
I tried to tell you but my voice is dead
I tried to smile but my face is dread
I wanted to hold your hand
But I'm so weakened that I cant
Sweet nurse just show me your smile
Take my chair into the sun
And walk with me just one last mile
Show me what life means
And let me look into your eyes
For I have spent so long
Burning through the lies
But you're the beacon of hope
That I always failed to find
All the years of solitude
Got me nearly deaf and blind
But your presence makes me gasp for air
Just so I can live a little longer
I can't bear it when you're away
It's just not fair
Sweet nurse if I could just thank you
For all that you do
I'm not sure when and I don't know how
But one day maybe not that far from now
