Alone I count the hours   And wait until the phone has rung   I feel the fear beneath my lungs      I know what she'll be saying   my hand is shaking like a leaf   I know she might be gone before   before the week is done      I can't say goodbye   And I don't wanna try   I hope they removed your cancer      I will be the last   I will not run from the past   To run from the past   I hope they removed your cancer      Now you would always tell me   That grief and sorrow make us strong   But I just feel I can't go on      Shall I inherit sunshine   I feel it slips away from me    I hope to find it one more time   before this life is gone      I can't say goodbye   And I don't wanna try   I hope they removed your cancer      I will be the last   To run from the past   I hope they removed your cancer      If you go   you will see   what we talked about could be   on the other side of the sea      On your boat   In the sun   I am sure it won't be long   In my sleep we'll meet again, so long   We'll meet some day, be strong
