Nightingale Lyrics

In a hospital room, the lights are dim

I make the bed again

But I still remember the look on your face

Family of three wife and kids

He tells a story of A life lived well lived

Forty years together now goodbye

It never gets any better

I can't help but cry

Feel I've failed you even when I try

Question why I ever chose this life

It never gets any better

But I'll stand by your side

Won't leave for awhile

Even when you close your eyes

So Sing sweet Nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

I'm part of her army

Put the weight on me

So sing sweet Nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

I'm part of her army

Put the weight on me

And I will stay awake each night so you can sleep

A moment of silence for the gone too soon

I pack your things from a hospital room

I call your kin

tell them the news

It never gets any better

But I'll stand by your side

Won't leave for awhile

Even when you close your eyes

So Sing sweet Nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

I'm part of her army

Put the weight on me

So sing sweet Nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

I'm part of her army

Put the weight on me

And I will stay awake each night so you can sleep

Frustrated why can't we succeed

I'm burned out more than you'll ever see

when I cry oh it makes me feel weak

But ill set it all aside when we meet

So ill hold on

Oh I'll hold on

So sing sweet Nightingale

Sing sweet nightingale

I'm part of her army

Put the weight on me

Sing sweet nightingale

But I won't give up the fight so easily

But I won't give up the fight sir please breathe
