One Day Less

Oh, love of mine Look what you've done You've taken the pieces of me You fixed them up Oh, love of mine Look what we've become Two wandering souls That somehow turned into one 'Til death do us part I'll be right where you are When we finally get to the end of our lives I'll leave just before you, so I won't have to cry Before your last breath I'll go up ahead I'll be waiting for you, hold your place in the line As we walk through the gates Down the streets painted white However long you live I hope I exist one day less Your tenderness Is all that I know What would I do without you To have and to hold? You're Heaven-sent And I hope you know That when you go back to the sky I'll welcome you home 'Til death do us part I'll be right where you are When we finally get to the end of our lives I'll leave just before you, so I won't have to cry Before your last breath I'll go up ahead I'll be waiting for you, hold your place in the line As we walk through the gates, down the streets painted white However long you live I hope I exist one day less When we finally get to the end of our lives I'll leave just before you, so I don't have to cry However long you live I hope I exist one day less
