If It's the Last Thing I Do

Pain falls around me like a shadow in the night And it hangs like a curtain till morning brings light I've been hurting so long I'm starting to wonder If I'll ever leave you behind I know I'll forget you It's a matter of time If it's the last thing I do I'll sleep without dreaming Your memory won't wake me to cry in the dark When my heart isn't beating it might finally quit aching I'll get over you if it's the last thing I do You're my love of a lifetime the one I knew would last And I know I'll spend my future livin' in my past But there will come a time when my tears have all fallen' And I can keep livin' for today And this heartache will release me and I can fly away If it's the last thing I do I'll sleep without dreaming Your memory won't wake me to cry in the dark When my heart isn't beating it might finally quit aching I'll get over you if it's the last thing I do I'll get over you if it's the last thing I do
