One Step Away Lyrics - Ghoti Hook

As the minutes pass, I look to you 

I know you're not alright 

I'm past the point of thinking straight 

I can only watch and cry 

Don't say the words that mean the end 

Don't tell me to go on 

Don't leave behind an only son 

To wish that you were gone 

As a boy I held your hand 

I never wanted you to leave 

I could not ever understand 

And now I'm here in disbelief 

Do you have to say goodbye? 

I've lived my life, knowing now 

Imagining you here 

Knowing what would take your life 

Recounting all my tears 

Did you see them then? 

Did you think of how 

You would tell someone 

"I have to leave now"? 

As a boy I held your hand 

I never wanted you to leave 

I could not ever understand 

And now I'm here in disbelief 

Do you have to say goodbye? 

One step away 

As a boy I held your hand 

I never wanted you to leave 

I could not ever understand 

And now I'm here in disbelief 

Do you have to say goodbye?
