In a sign of loving-kindness, she crawls in bed to be beside me

This withered corpse I call my own, she kisses like a precious icon

Hold me now, I’m trembling

Hold me ’til I fade away

Where I go, I’ll wait for you

I’ll hang onto this moment in my heart

All the days I lived my life, I never knew…

Precious moments I let slip away

All the days we lived in vain, we never knew…

Precious moments we let pass us by

Candlelight and incense

In a fleeting life of madness

You can have it all, save reason

You’ll live at the expense of humanity

Wake to the dawn in vain

To my shame, I’m still alive

What a way to die, in the arms of your lover

Never catch a break, never easy

You’re a fool to think that you would slip away

Not by cancer, but by old age

No one really gets ‘The Notebook’ ending here
