[Verse 1]
Here we are at the last turn in the road
The two of us both know
There's a heart that's breaking
But that's okay 'cause you never said you'd stay
I knew I'd face this day you'd have to say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't plead, I won't cry
I won't bleed and I won't die
I'll just hold my head up high
While I watch you walk away
[Chorus]
If this time is the last time
This night is our last night
Then let's not waste a heartbeat
Let's hold this moment tight
This time is the last time
And hold me like the first time
Baby, that will be eough
If this time is thе last time we make lovе
[Verse 2]
We're letting go of a love that's come and gone
Somehow life goes on
We'll get past the sorrow
But when you weep, don't look back at me too long
'Cause I'm trying so hard to be strong
I can't let you see my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't plead, I won't cry
I won't bleed, I will not die
I won't ask the reason why
As you turned and walk away
[Chorus]
If this time is the last time
If this night is our last night
Then let's not waste a heartbeat
Let's hold this moment tight
If this time is the last time
Hold me like the first time
Baby, that will be eough
If this time is the last time we make love
[Bridge]
Some other day, some other time
When you speak my name, will you be kind?
I hold on to your memory
'Cause you'll always be a part of me, oh, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
If this time is the last time
If this night is our last night
Let's not waste a heartbeat
Let's hold this moment tight
If this time is the last time
Hold me like the first time
That will be eough
If this time is the last time
If this time is the last time
If this time is the last time we make love
Here we are at the last turn in the road
The two of us both know
There's a heart that's breaking
But that's okay 'cause you never said you'd stay
I knew I'd face this day you'd have to say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't plead, I won't cry
I won't bleed and I won't die
I'll just hold my head up high
While I watch you walk away
[Chorus]
If this time is the last time
This night is our last night
Then let's not waste a heartbeat
Let's hold this moment tight
This time is the last time
And hold me like the first time
Baby, that will be eough
If this time is thе last time we make lovе

If this time is the last time
If this time is the last time
If this time is the last time we make love
