He said to lose my life or lose my love   That's the nightmare I've been running from   So let me hold you in my arms a while   I was always careless as a child      And there's a part of me that still believes   My soul will soar above the trees   But a desperate fear flows through my blood   That a dead love's buried beneath the mud      Let's grow old together and die at the same time   Let's grow old together and die at the same time      I said I've got no time, I have to go   And I was more right than I will ever know   He said my heart is faded, well mine's regret   And left him crying next to the chapel steps      Let's grow old together and die at the same time   Let's grow old together and die at the same time   He said, let's grow old together and die at the same time   Let's grow old together and die at the same time   He said      He said to lose my life or lose my love   That's the nightmare I've been running from   So let me hold you in my arms a while   (Let's grow old together and die at the same time)   I was always careless as a child      There's a part of me that still believes   (Let's grow old together and die at the same time)   My soul will soar above the trees   A desperate fear flows through my blood   (He said, let's grow old together and die at the same time)   A dead love's buried beneath the mud      A desperate fear flows through my blood   (Let's grow old together and die at the same time)   A dead love's buried beneath the mud
