Verse 1

I never should have waited so long to say

what is going on since the very first day

thought that you would stay forever with me

but the time has come to leave

Chorus

 before we turn off the lights

 and close our eyes

 i'll tell you a secret

 i held all my life

 its you i live for

 and for you i die

 so i lay here with you

 in our final goodbye

Verse 2

Hold, draw me close, close to my lips

Listen intently as I tell you this

Outside the world wages its wars,

I'll rest in peace as long as you know

Chorus

Before we turn out the lights and close our eyes

I'll tell you a secret I've held all my life

Its you that I live for, and for you I die

So I'll Lay here with you 'til the final goodbye

Bridge

 Promise our love

 Would carry on

 until time eternal we belong

Chorus

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'll lay here with you till the final goodbye

His respectful lips for the last time

And spell out the lyrics to love in the sky

Its you that I live for and for you I die

So I'll lay here with you till the final goodbye
