It hurts to know
That one day
You will leave me
And much sooner
Then is fair
And much sooner
Then either of us
Could ever want

I want to be
In my golden years
With my best friend
To have you in my life
Until the cold, quiet, end
But alas I cannot
Because time cannot stop

It seems like a cruel thing
To do to your heart
To get into these kinda relationships
With inevitable heartache at the end
But I've never learned so much
About patience, compassion, loyalty
Or laughed so hard
Then I have with you

I would do it all again
It just hurts to know
That you won't be there for it all
That one day
Our time together will be up
And I'll have to feel the pain
Of watching you leave this earth

I can't picture life without you
But one day I'm gonna have to
One day all your kisses will be gone
And there will be nobody
To warm my spot in bed
And nobody
To greet me in the morning
Or protect me in the night
And that just ain't right
No that just ain't right
