about

This song came about when I was thinking about eternity. There's just no way of knowing for certain if there's a heaven. What if the only eternity is how others remember you? What does that do to change your behavior in the present? Does it make you want to treat other people better even if it's in your own self interest?

lyrics

Before I Go

Verse 1
Before I Go, I’d like to say that if I’ve hurt you in any way, I’m sorry
I’ve fallen short in many things, and with the focus my life brings, I worry

I’ve roamed and searched to find the truth, through the ages and my troubled youth
I’ve set my mind on distant stars, spent many nights in crowded bars
Only to remain alone. Lost and far from home

Chorus 1
All I ask before I go - is keep me in your memory so
that I could live in some small way and if that's heaven, that's ok

Partial Verse
The ones I’ve loved and ones I’ve lost, I could not foresee the cost
But now the final bill is due and all that I can ask of you is mercy
If only I'd believed in time, this heart could bring some peace of mind

Verse 3
I will hold you in my heart, in that place that ends and starts
And I will keep you in that space where love assumes a state of grace
And I hope we’ll meet again someday, until that time I have to say, I love you, I love you

Chorus 3
All I ask before I go, is keep me in your memory so
That I’d still live in some small way, and if that’s heaven – that’s ok
