Grammar:

• When I am gone I hope that you'll stay

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood and Future in the Past

  ➔ The sentence uses the subjunctive mood (though subtly) with "When I am gone", implying a hypothetical situation. "I hope that you'll stay" involves 'hope' + 'that' clause and uses "will stay" expressing future intention. "I hope that you would stay" is possible too

• Keep me close in memory

  ➔ Imperative Mood with Object and Adverbial Phrase

  ➔ "Keep" is used in the imperative mood, instructing the listener to do something. "me" is the object, and "close in memory" is an adverbial phrase modifying the verb, specifying *how* the listener should keep the speaker.

• With your promise of new

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase with an Abstract Noun

  ➔ "With your promise of new" uses the preposition "with" followed by the noun phrase "your promise of new." "Promise" is an abstract noun. The entire phrase acts as an adverbial modifier, describing a condition or manner.

• I'll be right here waiting for you

  ➔ Future Continuous Tense

  ➔ "I'll be waiting" is the future continuous tense, indicating an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. It emphasizes the duration of the waiting. "I'll be" is a contraction of "I will be".

• To the end of the world and back

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase with Coordinate Nouns

  ➔ "To the end of the world and back" uses the preposition "to" followed by a noun phrase consisting of coordinated nouns: "the end of the world" and "back." The conjunction "and" connects these nouns.

• No one can stop me If they tried

  ➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 2)

  ➔ This is a type 2 conditional sentence. The structure is "If + past simple, would/could/might + base form of the verb". It expresses an unlikely or hypothetical situation in the present or future. However, here the "would/could/might" is ommitted

• Eternity is so beautifully cold

  ➔ Adverb modifying an Adjective

  ➔ The adverb "beautifully" modifies the adjective "cold." It describes *how* cold eternity is. Adverbs often end in -ly and are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

• I wonder if angels ever feel old

  ➔ Indirect Question with "if"

  ➔ This is an indirect question. Instead of asking directly "Do angels ever feel old?", the speaker phrases it as "I wonder *if* angels ever feel old". The word order in the *if*-clause follows statement order (subject-verb).

• Don't be afraid when Everything fades to gray

  ➔ Imperative with Negative Form and Subjunctive Idea

  ➔ "Don't be afraid" is the imperative mood in negative form, giving an instruction not to do something. "when Everything fades to gray" introduces a clause expressing a potential future event. The subjunctive idea is suggested because the fading is presented as a hypothetical.
