Lyrics

Kiss me each morning

For a million years

Hold me each evening

By your side

Tell me you love me

For a million, a million years

And then if it don't work out

And then if it don't work out

Then you can tell me

Goodbye

Sweeten my coffee

With a morning kiss

Soften my dreams

With your sigh

Tell me you love me

For a million, a million years

And then if it don't work out

And then if it don't work out

Then you can tell me

Goodbye

If you must go

I won't grieve

just wait a life-time before you leave

Please

then if you must go

I won't Tell you "no

Just so we can say that we tried

Tell me you love me, for a million, just a million years

And then if it don't work out

and then if it don't work out

Then you can tell me goodbye

Then you can tell me... goodbye

You can tell me goodbye, goodbye
