The last breath

Life is a highway and I am at the end of the road,

The day passes and I am alone in this empty room,
The nights are cold as ice but I am happy because I dream with you;
I believe a dream is a wish your heart makes
and my heart is about to stop in a few days.

I can hear the graveyard calling out my name,

It helps me to realize that the time is a resource,
And youth is not an eternal gift
Because life goes by in a blink.

Now, the end is near,

I am facing the final curtain,
I've loved, laughed, and cried,
and lived my life to the full, sharing wins and losses.

Regrets, I've had a few, but they are too few to mention,
my eyes overflow with tears like a waterfall;
It is not because I am sad,
Now, I am the happiest man on earth,
I know that I will see you again.
 I feel tired as if I were a child who has been playing all day,
My eyes are about to close and I can see the face of everyone I loved,
My mother, my father, and my friends, I missed them all
And now, they are here with me again.

My eyes are close,

I hear a beeping sound getting low at the distance,
People are running into my room and they are calling my name;
I don’t want to open my eyes,
I feel so tire that I can sleep during a whole year,
I just want them to leave me alone

I'm going to take my last breath before going to sleep,

When I wake up, I know I'll be with you,
I will see your beautiful eyes like diamonds,
and your warm smile like the sun;
I am grateful to God for giving me a beautiful life
And now I will see you in the gardens
