IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow sick and weak
And this should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle... can't be won.
You will all be sad, I understand
Don't let your grief than stay your hand
For this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer... so
When the time comes, let me go.
I know in time, you too will see
It is a kindness that you do to me
Though my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Don't grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
