Last Minute Advice
Believed to have been written by Raven, Chris Barnett, in 1997.
Tears of sadness,
Tears of Joy,
Away we return
to our own separate lives . . .
Me without you,
You without me. . .
Yet in this is our great hope.
After the fact and
we're no longer together,
The memories tie us as friends.
With silver cords of love,
Our hearts are forever joined.
And if we are parted,
No matter the distance,
Well, the cords do not weaken with time.
So be true to our friendship
and true to our love,
And keep the flame of memory alive.
