Song Description

A man dying from a terminal illness reaches out to his love in the hopes that he can leave her a song to remember him by

Lyrics

If I could write just one song and trip the world's collective heartbeat
Then I would want my music to be for the girl who cradles my soul
Can a simple melody have the strength to withstand time
And carry with it a legacy of love through generations

One song is all I ask for
Just one song to field my breath
One song and not a note a more
Just one song, then I can rest

She came along late in the game like a birdsong in the twilight
In that moment our eyes met in admiration and understanding
Our time together was inspiration enough for thousands of songs
If only I had been up to the task of recording them all

One song is all I ask for
Just one song to field my breath
One song and not a note a more
Just one song, then I can rest

Maybe there's no knowledge taken to the other side
But as I leave I'll be content to know our love can survive
And they'll be more than memories to sustain her through the end
We'll take forever after and cast it on four eternal winds

One song is all I ask for
Just one song to field my breath
One song and not a note a more
Just one song, then I can rest

The love she lives is nothing short of divine
In sickness and health she stands by my side
And she lives this love without regret
She deserves a song no one will forget

One song is all I ask for
Just one song to field my breath
One song and not a note a more
Just one song, then I can rest

Please
Just one song, then I can rest
