Parting Song

Although I said we’d never part,

that you would always be in my heart,

We come to realize Fate gets her way

and so to you now I must say:

“Adios, mi amor;

Goodbye, my love.”

And as you turn to look at me,

your eyes fill up with tears.

“How could we part?” you ask of me.

“I’ve loved you from the start.”

“Adios, mi amor;

Goodbye, my love.” is all that I can say.

“My time on this earth is short;

I’ll soon be on my way.”

Ten years I’ve lain on this deathbed,

and still you’ve loved me so.

My candle flickers; it’s time to go.

“Adios, mi amor.”
