Michael Bennett’s Final Performance - Left The Entire Crowd In Tears

Where we burned so bright
Now haunted by every word
Your shadow still sleeps beside my soul
Though the bed's been cold for years
And every night I drink with ghosts
From a bottle filled with tears
I was a king with a reckless crown
Till time laid my kingdom down
I will leave soon
Like the autumn wind
Gone with the fire
We once held within
But before I fade
Like stars of dawn
Know that my love for you lives on
When heaven calls
And the night breaks through
I will leave soon
Still loving you
My hands were up from fighting walls
No one outside could see
The loudest scars a man can wear
Are carved in memory
I spoke to God through cigarette smoke
Asked why angels disappear
He answered softly through the rain
She was only borrowed here
Now every road bends back to dust
And every promise learns to rest
I will leave soon
Like the autumn wind
Gone with the fire
We once held within
But before I fade
Like stars of dawn
Know that my love for you lives on
When heaven calls
And the night breaks through
I will leave soon
Still loving you
Still loving you
If there's another side of pain
Another door beyond goodbye
I'll wait for you beside the light
Where broken hearts learn how to fly
And if your tears fall years from now
Let them water what we knew
Some loves don't die
They just pass through
I will leave soon
Like the autumn wind
Gone with the fire
We once held within
But before I fade
Like stars of dawn
Know that my love for you lives on
When heaven calls
And the night breaks through
I will leave soon
Still loving you
The moon hangs low
On this tide of love
I will leave soon
Like the autumn wind
Gone with the fire
We once held within
On this tide, old town
And I'm still yours
As I leave soon
I'm still yours
