As the drunkard lies on his deathbed,
he wishes he could have one last sip.

As the father lies on his deathbed,
he wishes he would have told his daughter he loved her.

As the wife lies on her deathbed,
she wishes she wouldn’t have lied.

As the husband lies on his deathbed,
he wishes he would have taken the time.

As the son lies on his deathbed,
he wishes he would have tried a bit harder.

As the hopeless lies on his deathbed,
he wishes he would just go.

As the cancer patient lies on her deathbed,
she wishes she would have quit before it was too late.

As my lover lies on his deathbed,
I wish I would have savored that kiss.

As the captive lies on his deathbed,
he wishes for freedom.

But as I lie on my deathbed,
I only wish I had more time.
