(Kristofferson) This could be our last goodnight together We may never pass this way again Just let me enjoy 'till its over or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday this may be all that we'll remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends. Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as the love that might have been Just let me go on loving and believing 'til it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends. Please don't tell me how the story ends...

This could be our last goodnight together We may never pass this way again Just let me enjoy 'till its over Or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday this may be all That we'll remember Of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as the love that might have been Just let me go on loving and believing 'Till it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends Please don't tell me how the story ends

What was the point Of all of those migraines? If life's so short Don't spend it my way Try to avoid A pointless time change If you wanna see the world Don't take the highway If you wanna dance again, you can dance again Use a lifeline, on the phone a friend It'll take some time, it'll make you glad To have what you had again This isn't how it ends This isn't where we put down our pens Go tell the businessmen This isn't how it ends Go sell your shares If you're so worried (if you're so worried) If life's so short (life's so short) What's your hurry? (What's your hurry?) When you get there You'll tell the jury That you didn't wanna get involved (get involved, get involved) 'Cause you want mercy (you want mercy) If you wanna dance again, you can dance again Use a lifeline, on the phone a friend It'll make you cry when you make amends Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend? When it ends, when we can finally put down our pens Go tell the businessmen, if this is how it ends I want my money back I wanna watch you all overreact Don't tell me not to lie Don't tell me how it ends Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh If you wanna dance Wanna dance, you can dance It'll take, it'll make Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend? If you wanna dance again, you can dance again Use a lifeline, on the phone a friend It'll make you cry when you make amends Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?

This could be our last goodnight together We may never pass this way again Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over or forever Please, don't tell me how the story ends See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday, these may be all that we remember of each other Please, don't tell me how the story ends Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as the love that might have been Just let me go on loving and believing 'til it's over Please, don't tell me how the story ends Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as the love that might have been Just let me go on loving and believing 'til it's over Please, don't tell me how the story ends Please, don't tell me how the story ends

I wish I knew which button to push Then I'd know how to please you It's sad but true So I'll just listen in down the line While you're busy mixing grape with grain To sedate your pain Songbird You got tales to tell How many times can you describe your livin' hell? The sweeping gesture creates a fuss It's only useful when receivin' praise Relieving no one's pain If you'd let somebody love you just enough You'd have everything you need to break Free from all your pain Songbird You got tales to tell How many times can you describe your livin' hell? I wish I knew which button to push Then I'd know how to please you It's sad but true If you'd let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough

Only a fool would step away from this The song so sweet on the siren's lips How do you lie straight with a viper's tongue? I'm at a loss to explain Just how easy you found me to replace Now that the naked truth is out on display Could you explain why did you gravitate To somethin' about to break Take what you need to take Just silently walk away How could you be so reckless? Can you explain How could you be so reckless? Three time lucky, you might admit See and speak and hear no evil Guess I thought I could just keep stumblin' back in I'm at a loss to explain Just how easy you found me to replace We were free fallin' out into nothin' anyway Could you explain why did you gravitate To somethin' about to break Take what you need to take Just silently walk away How could you be so reckless? Can you explain How could you be so reckless?

Up so early feel so bright I didn't get much sleep last night Freight train rattled through my head A whistle blowing love is dead Is dead Heart attacked by fear and doubt Won't be long 'til the truth comes out First impressions never last Lover's bonds they hold so fast Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Welcome swallows dip and swing Take their cue from the slightest thing Rolling fog into my room Why d'you give up on me so soon? So soon Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Why d'you give up on me so soon? D'you give up on me so soon? I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well

At the end of my days when I'm called to go Into the open arms of the Holy Ghost To have lived such a life as I have known Fortune follows me, but I'm brave no more For my great mistakes I will surely pay I'm running low and the devil is on my trail When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for Is a place to rest and shelter for my soul Oh if I could spend my days Free from the prison of your gates Then I could die a happy man Oh if I could spend my days Free from the shadow of my name Then I could die happy man When I am released from this mortal load I'll take my leave but I don't wanna go When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for A place to rest and shelter for my soul
