Baby don't speak, save your energy Just write down what you have to say Should I turn on the tv? Can I get you anything? I'll be right here when you wake I thought we had a million years And I spent them like you'd be right here Now it's coming in loud and clear Maybe much too late my dear CHORUS: How long, baby, how long, have you held my heart? Hold on, if you can hold on, but if we're torn apart When you cross the great divide, beg Jesus to Pull me onto the other side, into the arms of you Sitting here drowning in a sea of our memories Our first apartment, you on the couch The way you kissed me, and all those little things Now that's all I want to think about God if you gave us a million more I'd spend my life on what life should be spent for Just let both of us walk out that door CHORUS I can't imagine living here without you So if anything happens, that's what you've gotta do Tell Pete to open up the gates and let me through CHORUS Into the arms of you Into the arms of you
