Take your turn to lean on me
I've leaned on you for so long
Your words, they hide behind your age
My words, they sing you this song

And I fall from this tightrope
That you've walked a thousand times
One step over to step
You're wise beyond your eyes

Walk away, it's your time
Deny the tear in my eye
Your memory will never die
Your memory will never die

At peace I trust in you every step of the way
To stay with me 'til the end of the day
So move on to your tomorrow as we all say goodnight
'Cause you're my sense of balance for the rest of my life

Now I'm waiting on the words
That I've never had the chance to tell
So this is my "I love you"
This is my "fare thee well"

Walk away, it's your time
Deny the tear in my eye
The memory will never die
The memory will never die

At peace I trust in you every step of the way
To stay with me 'til the end of the day
So move on to your tomorrow as we all say goodnight
'Cause you're my sense of balance for the rest of my life, rest of my life
Rest of my life, rest of my life, rest of my life, rest of my life
