I never should have waited 
So long to say 
What I?ve always known 
Since the very first day 
Thought that you would stay 
Forever with me 
But the time has come to leave 

Before we turn out the lights 
And close our eyes 
I?ll tell you a secret 
I?ve held all my life 
It?s you that I live for 
And for you I die 
So I lay here with you 
?til the final goodbye 

Holding you close 
Close to my lips 
Listen intently 
As I tell you this 
Outside the world 
Wages its war 
I?ll rest in peace 
As long as you know 

Before we turn out the lights 
And close our eyes 
I?ll tell you a secret 
I?ve held all my life 
It?s you that I live for 
And for you I die 
So I lay here with you 
?til the final goodbye 

Promise you our love 
Will carry on 
Until time eternal 
We belong 

Before we turn out the lights 
And close our eyes 
I?ll tell you a secret 
I?ve held all my life 
It?s you that I live for 
And for you I die 
So I lay here with you 
?til the final goodbye 

As I taste your lips 
For the last time 
I spell out the lyrics 
To love in the stars 
It?s you that I live for 
And for you I die 
So I lay here with you 
?til the final goodbye
