Patty Loveless - If It's The Last Thing I Do lyrics

(Austin/D. Gill)

Pain falls around me

Like a shadow in the night

And it hangs like a curtain

Til morning brings light

I've been hurting so long

I'm starting to wonder

If I'll ever leave you behind

I know I'll forget you

It's a matter of time

If it's the last thing I do

I'll sleep without dreaming

Your memory won't wake me

To cry in the dark

When my heart isn't beating

It might finally quit aching

I'll get over you

If it's the last thing I do

You're my love of a lifetime

The one I knew would last

And I know I'll spend my future

Livin' in my past

But there will come a time

When my tears have all fallen'

And I can keep livin' for today

And this heartache will release me

And I can fly away

If it's the last thing I do

I'll sleep without dreaming

Your memory won't wake me

To cry in the dark

When my heart isn't beating

It might finally quit aching

I'll get over you

If it's the last thing I do

I'll get over you

If it's the last thing I do
