If you never come to me again
I've had the love of a lifetime and I've had a best friend
I wish that I spent with you all the best I'll ever spend
Even if you never come to me again

Chorus:
Cause you are the love of a lifetime, lady
You are the best a man can do
You are the love of a lifetime, lady
If you never come to me again, I'll still be lovin you
I'll still be lovin you

And if you never sleep here in my arms again
I've had the love of a lifetime and I've had a best friend
It's not that I wouldn't mind losing you, it's just that you taught me to win
Even if you never sleep in my arms again

Chorus

I'll be lovin you
I'll still be lovin you
