Last Kiss

(Written as song lyrics)

I promise I will love you

‘Til the sun no longer shines.

I’ll give you all the love I have

And everything that’s mine.

I’ll love you with my heart and soul,

My body and my mind.

I’ll give to you the best of me

Until the end of time.

All I am, all I may gain

I simply want to give

To you with deep affection

As long as I may live.

When it comes my time to go,

I will whisper this,

“I love you” with my last breath

And give you my last kiss.

I will give you my last kiss,

And every one ‘til then.

This burning love I have for you

Will never see an end;

And while we’re living through this life,

I will promise this,

I’ll love you with my last breath

And give you my last kiss.

Forever I’ll stay near you

To keep you safe and warm.

I’ll gladly give my life for you

To shelter you from harm.

I’ll put my arms around you

When you are feeling small;

And anything you need from me

You will have it all.

You will never be in want

Of things love can supply.

I’ll dedicate myself to this

Until the day I die.

As long as I live in this world

You can count on this,

I’ll love you ‘til my last breath

And give you my last kiss.
