Lyrics

Sometimes when they read the news
My heart grows cold at what I hear
And though I laugh and tell myself
That of course it's not and I'm being silly
I wonder if the end could really be near
Remember when they made me pray
'If I should die before I wake'
And when I'd cry you'd laugh and say
That I wasn't going to anyway
I'd know that nothing could hurt me when you were here
If all my hopes should come to nothing
I know that I would turn to you
And when I fell the end is coming
It makes me want to run home to you
Sometimes I think we'll never see tomorrow
Sometimes I think that it's just as well
Sometimes I can't bear to think at all
And I turn my face towards the wall
If I should die before I live
I want to lie with you beside me
And feel the last warmth of your body
And hold you so close up against me
That I can see no further than your eyes
And we'll have one last night together
And see the last of the light together
'Cause I don't want to live without you
I don't want to live without you
I don't want to live without you
