about

I was taking care of a sick and dying man in the hospital. He was reaching the end and his aging father was left with the decision of when to transition to comfort care only. His father seemed struck by the injustice of this painful situation.

lyrics

In the family waiting room, dear
Tucked in the corner down the hall
I've been wishin on a bright bright star
Speak your truth and watch it fall

I’ve been loving him for so long
Dady’s son the day he was born
He grew up strong he was a rascal youth
I never thought I’d have to choose

Chorus
Please don’t ask me to let me baby go
You know I’d rather that he stay
Please don’t ask me to let my baby go
Today just ain’t that day

I've been listening to him for so many years
Stories they fall right off his lips
Now I only catch half the words half the time
And half the words they don’t make sense

You know he;s always been a fighter
Never one to toss it in
Now he can’t tell night from day
His body’s overtaken him

You know I'd walk out in the storm dear
I’d shake my fists at the devil’s grin
But these long days and sleepless nights
I can’t stomach the pain you’re in

The time has come to make our peace now
The swelling tide can not be turned
I’ll lay me down beside my baby boy
Hold him tightly till he’s safely home
