Last Call

I see the shadow, hear the creak of the door

The Reaper's here, I can't run anymore

He pulls out a chair, says, It's time to go

But before we leave, there's something I must know

He slides me a drink, dark as the night

And asks, Who'd you choose, for one last light

One final beer, one final toast

Who's the soul you'd miss the most

I'd share my last beer with the one who stayed

Through all my storms, through all my days

The hand I held when the skies grew dim

The heart that beat in time with mine within

I'd share my last beer with you

The table's quiet, my throat's so tight

I see your face in the pale moonlight

The Reaper waits, his patience worn

But he sees my grief, and the love I've sworn

One sip for the laughter, one sip for the pain

One sip for the dreams we'd never claim

He nods and says, It's time to choose

Who's the soul you can't bear to lose

I'd share my last beer with the one who stayed

Through all my storms, through all my days

The voice that called me out of despair

The arms that held me when life felt unfair

I'd share my last beer with you

And if I could turn the hourglass

I'd make each moment longer, make it last

But the glass is empty, the time has flown

I face the end, but I'm not alone

I'd share my last beer with the one who stayed

The one who gave me more than I gave

The love I carried through joy and fear

The only soul I'd want sitting here

I'd share my last beer with you

The Reaper stands, but he takes it slow

He sees my love, and he seems to know

I raise my glass, the world fades to blue

And whisper softly, This one's for you
