Love My Life Away Lyrics - Harry Connick, Jr.

(verse) 

The first piece of morning finds its way into my bed 

And I ain't quite ready yet to wake 

I hear somebody breathin' so I know that I ain't dead 

Guess He ain't ready yet my soul to take 

(verse) 

I sit myself up and let my feet fall on the floor 

The little hand ain't made it halfway 'round 

I'm too tired to be inspired, I've been here before 

But I'm glad to see that you're still sleeping sound 

(chorus) 

I want the last thing I see to be your face 

Kissing you the last thing that I do 

And when I die, let me die in your embrace 

But until then I want to love my life away with you 

(verse) 

The colors through my window all are filled with afternoon 

Prayers I hear are blending with the din 

It starts to make a melody but I can't place the tune 

You must be wond'rin' where my mind has been 

(chorus) 

I want the last thing I see to be your face 

Kissing you the last thing that I do 

And when I die let me die in your embrace 

But until then I want to love my life away with you 

(bridge) 

I can't borrow another tomorrow 

I can't even guarantee today 

But God willing, we'll still be fulfilling 

Ev'ry dream we dreamed along the way 

(verse) 

The end of my day is circling 'bove me like a bird 

That ain't quite ready yet to land 

If I wake before I die I still won't be deterred 

I'll think about the day you took my hand 

(chorus) 

I want the last thing I see to be your face 

Kissing you the last thing that I do 

And when I die let me die in your embrace 

But until then I want to love my life away with you
