Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr.

Harry Connick, Jr.

Love my life away

The first piece of morning finds its way into my bed

And I ain’t quite ready yet to wait

I hear somebody breathing so I know that I ain’t dead

Guess he ain’t ready yet my soul to take

I sit myself up and let my feet fall on the floor

The little hand ain’t made it halfway round

I’m too tired to be inspired, I’ve been here before

But I’m glad to see that you’re still sleeping sound

I want the last thing I see to be your face

Kissing you the last thing that I do

And when I die let me die in your embrace

But until then I wanna love my life away with you

The colors through my window are all filed with afternoon

Prayers I hear of Lenden picking

It’s thoughts to make a melody, yet I can’t place the tune

It must be wondering where my mind has been

I want the last thing I see to be your face

Kissing you the last thing that I do

And when I die let me die in your embrace

But until then I wanna love my life away with you

I can’t borrow another tomorrow

I can’t even guarantee today

But God willing we’ll still be fulfilling

Every dream you dreamed along the way

End of my days circling ‘bove me like a bird

That ain’t quite ready yet to land

If I’ll awake before I die I still won’t be the turn

I’ll think about the day you took my hand

I want the last thing I see to be your face

Kissing you the last thing that I do

And when I die let me die in your embrace

But until then I wanna love my life away with you
