I found myself dreaming In silver and gold Like a scene from a movie That every broken heart knows We were walking on moonlight And you pulled me close Split second and you disappeared And then I was all alone I woke up in tears With you by my side A breath of relief And I realized No, we're not promised tomorrow So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you And I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye Wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you In the blink of an eye Just a whisper of smoke You could lose everything The truth is you never know So I'll kiss you longer baby Any chance that I get I'll make the most of the minutes And love with no regrets Let's take our time to say what we want Here's what we got before it's all gone 'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye Wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye Wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
