Lyrics
AT LAST THE DOVE (song for Guy) ©
When it's your time to go
Let me be the last
To sit right next to you
I'll help you pass
We'll speak of love we knew
Remember joys gone past
I'll have your hand in mine
To help you pass
I'll speak of times we knew
I'll speak of endless love
I'll speak of me and you
Help set free
AT LAST THE DOVE
And when your fading heart
has finally beat it's last
I'll kiss you on the brow
And help you pass
And when the sunlight streams
Through golden rays of glass
In that twilight afternoon
I'll help you pass
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: Flying free
Uncaged at last
Like cotton clouds that pass
I feel you here
Cause love never dies
I feel you near tonight
(Repeat Chorus)
AT LAST THE DOVE
