Lay Me Down

Although the world is coming to an end
 I don't think there's been a lovelier night
 Walking slowly with you hand in hand
 It's hard imagining we won't be all right
 And if we never see the morn again
 I will join the dead without a fight
 If you lay me down
 Lay me down
 Never has the saying "now or never" been about the ending of time
 But here we are in the eleventh hour
 Finally somehow we're giving up pride
 Looking back from here is not allowed
 And since tomorrow can't be found in real life
 Won't you lay me down
 Lay me down
 Lay me down
 Tonight
 For best or worst, a blessed curse is our fate
 But who could have guessed the universe would end up this way?
 So this perfect evening we'll be leaving nothing to waste
 Now is when love and history are made
 With only minutes, maybe seconds, left
 Will you press your lips to mine?
 The beating won't be held within my chest
 And all the rest of me is resigned
 And though this is the last of all my breaths
 It's the best one of my life
 Lay me down
 Lay me down
 Lay me down
