Time stops as I hear something
About a train and fatal injuries
Time stops as I fly through town
And rush into the hospital
Time stops as I open the door
And see the man I love
Hooked up to machines, barely breathing
Time stops as he opens his eyes
Blue eyes that don't shine
As brightly as they used to
Time stops as he smiles weakly
Hurting inside and out, but happy
To see me, nevertheless
Time stops as he tells me
There is no hope for recovery
As he takes my hand in his
Time stops as he tells me
He loves me but wants me
To move on, to find love again
Time stops as his hand
Slips from mine
When the machines flatline
Time stops
