The curtains are d rawn now the fi re warms the roo m
Meanw hile, outs ide, wi nd from the north-east chills the air
It will soon be snowing o ut there
And s ome, there a re, co ld they prepare for a sleepless nig ht
Maybe this will be their l ast fight
But w e're safe in each other's embr ace,
All f ears go as I look on your fa ce
Better t hink awh ile or I (xxx433)may never thi nk again
If this were the l ast day of your li fe my friend
T ell me wh at do you thi nk you would do t hen
S tand up to the blow that fat e has stru ck upon y ou
M ake the most of all you sti ll have coming to you
L ay down on the gr ound and let the tears run from you
C rying to the gr ass and trees and hea ven finally on your knees
L et me live again let lif e come find me wanti ng
S pring must strike again against th e shie ld of winte r
L et me feel once mo re the arms of love surround me
T elling me the da nger's past, I ne ed not fear the icy blast again
Laughter and m usic and pe rfume linger her e
And t here, and t here, wi ne flows from flask to glass and mou th
As it soothes confusing o ur doubts
And s oon, we f eel, wh y do a single thing today
There's tomorrow sure as I 'm here
So the d ays they turn into ye ars,
And s till no tomorrow appe ars
Better t hink awh ile or I (xxx433)may never thi nk again
If this were the l ast day of your li fe my friend
T ell me wh at do you thi nk you would do t hen
S tand up to the blow that fat e has stru ck upon y ou
M ake the most of all you sti ll have coming to you
L ay down on the gr ound and let the tears run from you
C rying to the gr ass and trees and hea ven finally on your knees
L et me live again let lif e come find me wanti ng
S pring must strike again against th e shie ld of winte r
L et me feel once mo re the arms of love surround me
T elling me the da nger's past, I ne ed not fear the icy blast again
