[Verse 1] When I dream of all I’ll never write Words that vanish into night Stars I chased but couldn’t name Fade like sparks into the rain [Verse 2] Thought I had more time to feel But life just turns and never kneels Faces pass like phantom light And I’m still reaching for what’s right [Pre-Chorus] Will love still know me when I fall? Will silence answer when I call? [Chorus] Before I’m gone, I want to see The world that only lives in me To kiss the sky, to hold the flame And not just leave a hollow name Before I fade, before I’m done I want to know I touched someone [Verse 3] They say the heart was made to break But mine still beats for beauty’s sake Yet every breath feels like a race With time I never get to face [Pre-Chorus] Will dreams outlive the hands of fate? Or vanish when I hesitate? [Chorus] Before I’m gone, I want to see The world that only lives in me To kiss the sky, to hold the flame And not just leave a hollow name Before I fade, before I’m done I want to know I touched someone [Bridge – Spoken or whisper-sung] And if I stand alone at sea... With love and fame no longer near me... Let me still believe I tried To leave a light before I died [Final Chorus – soft and rising] Before I’m gone, let me be true To every verse I never knew To every soul I never met To every word I won’t forget Before I’m gone... Before I’m gone... Let the stars remember me too
