I know I'll die someday, baby that's okay
Losing you is something of which I'm more afraid
Through age, through the ache, I'll stay by your side
Through every pain life brings, as long as I'm alive

And if you must cry, my dear, cry here in my arms
We're on borrowed time here, like long burnt-out stars
Like the night sky above, or these little lives of ours
If you must die, my love, die here in my arms

The days that fill the space between each embrace
Make it clear that no one could ever fill your place
I'll always be right here to keep away your fears
To wipe away the tears for all my living years

And if you must cry, my dear, cry here in my arms
We're on borrowed time here, like long burnt-out stars
Like the night sky above, or these little lives of ours
And if you must die, my love, die here in my arms

And if you must cry, my dear, cry here in my arms
We're on borrowed time here, like long burnt-out stars
Like the night sky above, or these little lives of ours
And if you must die, my love, die here in my arms
