At Last, Forever Lyrics

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
I'm not intending to go far away.
I'm just slipping through to the back room -
I'll leave you messages almost every day.

And who was I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace.
Not in this lifetime, babe
but we'll cling together:
some kind of heaven written in your face.

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch?
Do my eyes seem to focus
on some distant point?
Why do I find it hard to talk too much?
And who was I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace.
Not in this lifetime, babe
but we'll cling together:
some kind of heaven written in your face.

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
I'm not intending to go far away.
I'm just slipping through to the back room
I'll leave you messages almost every day.
And who was I to last forever?
I didn't promise to stay the pace.
Not in this lifetime, babe
but we'll cling together:
some kind of heaven written in your face.

Cover art for At Last, Forever lyrics by Jethro Tull

One of my favorite Tull songs. I think it's a good take on dying. "I'll leave you messages almost every day". The lyrics reflect my feelings about leaving this world. There is no reason to fear death.
