Lyrics

Should I leave this world

Contemplating leaving the world

Before you do

Referencing someone else's departure

Travel to heaven

Imagining traveling to heaven

Leaving you behind

Concern about leaving a loved one behind

What would I do

Expressing uncertainty about the future

But I think I'll just sit here and bide my time

Choosing to wait patiently

And wait for you to arrive

Anticipating the arrival of a significant person

I think I'll just sit here and bide my time

Reiterating the decision to wait patiently

Enjoy what's left of you and I

Planning to enjoy the remaining time together

I may have met kings and queens of the past

Reflecting on meeting historical figures

Listened to the greats of the music and the arts

Appreciating great figures in music and arts

Nothing can compare to you my dear

Stating that the loved one surpasses all

Darling I'll bide my time and wait for you

Committing to waiting for the loved one

Two lost souls

Describing the couple as lost souls

Who met

Recalling the meeting of the two souls

On a tropical island

Setting the scene of the first encounter

When eyes first met

Highlighting the significance of eye contact

Eternity started

Indicating the beginning of eternity

And I can't forget

Expressing the unforgettable nature of the experience

Any of it

Emphasizing the lasting impact of the encounter

But I think I'll just sit here and bide my time

Repeating the decision to wait patiently

And wait for you to arrive

Reiterating the anticipation of the loved one's arrival

I think I'll just sit here and bide my time

Repeating the decision to wait patiently

Enjoy what's left of you and I

Reaffirming the intention to enjoy remaining time

I may have met kings and queens of the past

Recalling encounters with historical figures

Listened to the greats of the music and the arts

Remembering appreciation for music and arts figures

Nothing can compare to you my dear

Affirming the unmatched value of the loved one

Darling I'll bide my time and wait for you

Repeating commitment to waiting for the loved one

And as I stand

Describing standing before a gate

Before the gate

Expressing the anticipation and tension

I'll try my best to hold my breath

Struggling to hold breath while waiting

I know in time when you will rest

Anticipating the loved one's eventual rest

You'll hold my hand

Imagining holding hands during the afterlife

Walk in with me

Envisioning a shared journey in the afterlife

And As I stand

Repeating the description of standing before a gate

Before the Gate

Reiterating the struggle to hold breath

I'll try my best to hold my breath

Repeating the anticipation of the loved one's rest

I know in time when you will rest

Repeating the imagery of holding hands in the afterlife

You'll hold my hand

Reiterating the description of standing before a gate

Walk in with me

Reaffirming the struggle to hold breath while waiting

I may have met kings and queens of the past

Recalling encounters with historical figures

Listened to the greats of the music and the arts

Remembering appreciation for music and arts figures

Nothing can compare to you my dear

Affirming the unmatched value of the loved one

Darling I'll bide my time and wait for you

Repeating commitment to waiting for the loved one

I may have watched all the famous stars

Recalling watching famous stars

Marilyn, Betty and Joan of Arc

Naming specific historical figures

Nothing can compare to you my dear

Affirming the unmatched value of the loved one

Darling I'll bide my time and wait for you

Repeating commitment to waiting for the loved one
