When You'll Have To Go

When You'll Have To Go

About This Song

I wrote this song after someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer.  Waiting for the surgery, that would hopefully stop the cancer growth, I noticed that this person was slowly dying and wondered if I would share another Christmas with them.  The surgery was successful, and even though there were some set-backs that followed, this person is doing so much better and I am very grateful.  To me, this song is about the feelings and emotions when someone close to us is near the end of their life and the helplessness and loss of control that is part of being human.
I have played this song to others and their interpretation is actually different than what this song means to me.  Some have interpreted this song to be about someone in a relationship, which they feel isn't working or meant to be, and knowing that eventually it will end.
Isn't it great that a song can have a unique different meaning to each listener.

Lyrics

 1st Verse


Do you worry when it’s over?

I think you do

Cause I do, too

But you’ve always been much stronger

Your faith’s been true

I’m not like you


2nd Verse


I have seen you get past sorrow

You made it through

And I’ve learned from you

Did I ever say I love you?

I know I’m scared

I’m not prepared

Pre-Chorus


And I’m feeling my life’s out of control

Now I know, that I’m alive, that I'm alive

Is there something I could do just for you?

Wish I knew, I want to know, I want to know

Cause I don’t want to let you go


Chorus


I wish I could take your pain away

As I see you change

And I feel so low

I know that our lives can’t stay the same

And that there’s a time

When you’ll have to go


Guitar Solo

3rd Verse


You don't have to say you love me

I can feel it

From your spirit

Repeat Pre-Chorus


Repeat Chorus


Repeat Chorus


Ending


Will you greet me when it’s over?
