  I would only be in your way
  So I'll go, but I know
  I'll think of you each step of the way
  And I will always love you
  I will always love you

  That's all I am taking with me
  Good-bye. Please don't cry
  We both know that I'm not
  What you need
  But I will always love you
  I will always love you.

• In the clearing stands the boxer, and a fighter by his trade.
  And he carries a reminder of every glove that laid him down...
  or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
  "I am leaving! I am leaving" but the fighter still remains.

• I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose.
  Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.
  Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night.
  You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light.
  And I will remember you.
  Will you remember me?
  Don't let your life pass you by.
  Weep not for the memories.

  Sarah McLachlan

• Is this the real life?
  Is this just fantasy?
  Caught in a landslide,
  No escape from reality.
  
  Open your eyes,
  Look up to the skies and see,
  I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
  Because I'm easy come, easy go,
  Little high, little low,
  Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

  Freddie Mercury

  With God's great angels like you

  When it's on the vine.
