lyrics

Before the bombs go off
Maybe one more time
And I only hope to make you mine

Before the sun goes down
And with the break of dawn
If I could show who I've become

And I'd even ask Whitney
Just to sing it for you
But I don't got a million dollars to pay

And you and I both know
How good it would be
But oh, how she passed away...

Before the nights grow longer
I just wanted to say
That when we were much younger
We could have known each other yesterday.

Before we hitch that ride
I just wanted to say
Let's spend this time together
Maybe I'll remember your name.

Before this song comes on
Maybe one more time
And I only hope to make you mine

Before the sun goes down
And with the break of dawn
If I could show you who I've become

And I'd even ask Frankie
Just to play it for you
But I thought I had forever and a day
And you and I both know
How good it could be,
But oh, how he passed away...

When the moon grows new
Among the midnight sky
And when the stars shine through
I'm gonna keep my head held high

Until a new day comes
Maybe one more time
And I only hope to make you mine

Until the sun goes down
And with the break of dawn
I wanna show who I've become

And I'd even ask Whitney
Just to sing it for you
But I don't got a million dollars to pay

And you and I both know
How good it would be
But oh, how she passed away...

Before the sun goes down
Before the break of dawn...
