I wrote this song after someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer. Waiting for the surgery, that would hopefully stop the cancer growth, I noticed that this person was slowly dying and wondered if I would share another Christmas with them. The surgery was successful, and even though there were some set-backs that followed, this person is doing so much better and I am very grateful. To me, this song is about the feelings and emotions when someone close to us is near the end of their life and the helplessness and loss of control that is part of being human.
I have played this song to others and their interpretation is actually different than what this song means to me. Some have interpreted this song to be about someone in a relationship, which they feel isn't working or meant to be, and knowing that eventually it will end.
Isn't it great that a song can have a unique different meaning to each listener.
1st Verse
Do you worry when it’s over?
I think you do
Cause I do, too
But you’ve always been much stronger
Your faith’s been true
I’m not like you
2nd Verse
I have seen you get past sorrow
You made it through
And I’ve learned from you
Did I ever say I love you?
I know I’m scared
I’m not prepared
Pre-Chorus
And I’m feeling my life’s out of control
Now I know, that I’m alive, that I'm alive
Is there something I could do just for you?
Wish I knew, I want to know, I want to know
Cause I don’t want to let you go
Chorus
I wish I could take your pain away
As I see you change
And I feel so low
I know that our lives can’t stay the same
And that there’s a time
When you’ll have to go
Guitar Solo
3rd Verse
You don't have to say you love me
I can feel it
From your spirit
Repeat Pre-Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Ending
Will you greet me when it’s over?
