" The nights are long, but the years are short when you're alive"

This song reminds me of Kobe Bryant died 1978-2020 I was in LA when he died born and raised

Well if I die before I get it done, will you decide? Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the skies You are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise And when you hear this, you'll know it's your jam, it's your goodbye Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong We all crossed when we were feeling lost, its just the tide Katari cried the day her lover died, she recognized Because he gave her a life of real love, it's no surprise The nights are long, but the years are short when you're alive Way back when we'll never be again, it was a time It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you to walk the line Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong Come and get me Hey! Hey Yeah Yeah Yeah Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong Let me live, so when it's time to die, even the reaper cries Let me die, so when it's time to live, another sun will rise I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums, he's gonna to play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone When the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
