Lyric At Last, Forever

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
I m not intending to go far away.
I m just slipping through to the back room --
I ll leave you messages almost every day.
And who was I to last forever?
I didn t promise to stay the pace.
Not in this lifetime, babe
but we ll cling together:
some kind of heaven written in your face.

So why are you holding my hand tonight?
Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch?
Do my eyes seem to focus
on some distant point?
Why do I find it hard to talk too much?
And who was I to last forever?
I didn t promise to stay the pace.
Not in this lifetime, babe
but we ll cling together:
some kind of heaven written in your face.

So why are you holding my hand tonight?

Not in this lifetime, babe
but we ll cling together:
some kind of heaven written in your face.
