lyrics

A moment in a lifetime,
a teardrop in the sea,
the words from your precious lips,
mean more than you can see.

But my heart can stand the weight of knowing
that we will one day cease to be,
and the only thing that keeps me going,
is that i wake up to you and me.

You've got your life, an open book a secret,
and i'd give my life if only just to see it.
