Song Description

Dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Sago mine disaster

Lyrics

1:
He found a worn out scrap of paper
Buried deep within his pocket
And a pen he?d never used before that day
And after thinking and rethinking
The best way he could tell her
He wrote down everything he couldn?t say
A final note to leave
Before he left her on her own
To let her know though he was leaving
She?d never be alone

CHORUS:
He wrote ?tonight, I?ll sleep
without you by my side
For the first time, in a long time
But you?ll be there with me
Inside my dreams
And it wasn?t bad so don?t you cry
Pretend I?m in our bed tonight
And think of all the love we knew
I?ll see you on the other side
Where I?ll be watching over you

2:
They found a worn out scrap of paper
Tucked inside his miner?s jacket
When they laid his body out before his wife
And through the tears that she was crying
She read the words he left her
Written in those final moments of his life
A final note to read
And though she stood there on her own
When she read his dying message
she knew she was not alone
