Drop by drop fall the tears Day by day pass the years Hair by hair turns to gray Little by little I waste away Moment by moment I feel the pain Prayer by prayer I hope in vain Wish by wish my heart does ache Sigh by sigh I feel it break Dream by dream I had but few Piece by piece away they flew Breath by breath I still hang on Inch by inch until I’m gone.
