lyrics

If I could lie between your legs
And rest my head upon your breast
Then I would die happy

If I could lie upon your bed
For one last time and feel your breath
Then I would die happy

And I just want to die happy

If I could say your name once more
I know you’d be worth fighting for
Then I would die happy

I want your arms around my neck
Taste your kiss and smell your sweat
Then I would die happy

And I just want to die happy

I’ve got it all worked out, to save me
From a fate much worse than this
I’ve got it all planned out, to reach you
With one last kiss …

And I just want to die happy
And I just want to die happy
