lyrics

I have never seen
 the moonlight shine 
as brightly 
as when I am lying next to you. Darling, 
I will prove myself to you.

And I have never seen the illusion of time as clearly as when I am right here next to you. Darling, 
I will give my heart to you and with every day, I'll take a step further into you.

I have never felt the meaning of life mean more than right when I am lying next to you. Darling, I will prove myself to you.

And I have never felt the point of it all pierce as deep as when I am right here next to you. Darling, 
I will give my soul to you and with every day, I'll take a step further into you.

For ain't the hardest part of living all alone, never learning 
how to love someone at all?

And ain't the hardest part of dying all alone, never learning how to live your life at all?

And ain't the hardest part of walking backward, never learning how to live your life at all
?

And ain't the hardest part of keeping a secret, never learning
 how to live your life at all ?

I have never felt
 the sunlight shine 
as when we rise and when we fall as one from two - 
that's when I know 
death isn't 
true
.
