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
