Even though the song may not have been written about death, I think it's written about loss. This song always makes me think of my mother passing away when I was 15. The first verse reminds me that she made me believe she was going to live a long time even though she knew she was dying. "Why did you turn out the lights, did you know that I was sleeping" reminds me that she passed away when I was away from home. "Say a prayer for me... Is my heart breaking on me" I still feel this verse resonating because I still mourn her and think of her quite often and it's 10 years later. As for my plans and my dreams, we had always had plans to go to Australia, and she wanted to be a grandmother, etc. I love this song, even though it makes me sad every time I hear it.
