| Take your little lips and kiss me
|
| Take your little arms and squeeze me
|
| Let’s live a little before we say goodbye
|
| I’ll draw my money out of the bank
|
| I’ll buy you roses and pretty things
|
| Let’s live a little before we say goodbye
|
| You’ll wear a yellow ribbon in your wavy hair
|
| I’ll wear the suit you like and a big bow tie
|
| We’ll pretend we’re happy though we know it’s a lie
|
| So let’s live a little before we say goodbye
|
| You’ll be my queen of beauty
|
| I’ll be proud of you, my cutie
|
| Let’s live a little before we say goodbye
|
| Someday our hair will turn gray
|
| And we will think of yesterday
|
| So let’s live a little before we say goodbye
|
| The band will be playing a waltz just for two
|
| And I will be saying, «Darling, I love you»
|
| We’ll pretend we’re happy though we know it’s a lie
|
| So let’s live a little before we say goodbye |
