Everyone remembers the first time 'Cause the heart knows there'll never be another like this But the thing about the last time Is you don't know that it's the last time 'til it is So tonight I'm kissing you Like the sun ain't gonna rise I'm gonne love you like it's the last time Everyone remembers the first time 'Cause the heart knows there'll never be another like this But the thing about the last time Is you don't know that it's the last time 'til it is You don't know that it's the last time 'til it is Hmm, yeah
