The last leaf clings to the bough
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
And my last hope live with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf
With the last leaf that clings to the bough
Last summer beneath this tree
My love said she'd come to me
Before the leaves of autumn touched the ground, touched the ground
My love promised she's be homeward bound
Then one by one the leaves began to fall
And now that winter's come to call
The last leaf that clings to the bough
Just one leaf, that's all there is now
Will my last hope fall with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf
With the last leaf, the last leaf
With the last leaf that clings to the bough
Bough, bough, bough….

Usually we base our decisions on what is right, but sometimes the choices are not so clear and their
consequences are grave.Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the
one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.We have one
life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last. “Life Must Go On” don‟t lose Hope

4.
Take this cup and drink it down
The lights fade black and you eyes roll back
I brought you here now sleep and fall
To dust to ashes in my twisted arms
There‟s a bed upstairs, lay down
I promise you, you‟ll never escape
This hell
And when the lights ficker I will see you
I just want to be near you
To taste what‟s under your scars
And you‟re fused to the mattress
A corpse in a decaying night dress
You should never trust a soul
But I, I can pretend
That this bed doesn‟t reek
As long as you‟re with me
But this is life
For one of us
The other is just connected to life
In death
And Emily my baby
My corps, my lady
You are mine all mine
4. If you give me one last smile I can promise you
That I‟ll return it right in vain
Cause here in my arms you‟re never alone
Here in my arms you‟re the exact same
As you were all those years before
When I said
Take this cup and drink it down
The lights fade black and you eyes roll back
I brought you here now sleep and fall
To dust to ashes in my twisted arms.
