No need to say you're sorry   No need to feel ashamed   If I'm not the one you love   Don't feel you're to blame      I don't deny it hurts me   And this pain is hard to hide   But at least I lived a little while   Before I died      I lived long enough to know   The sweet thrill of your lips   I knew happiness   Right down to my finger tips      You'll always be a part of me   Though you can't be mine   At least I lived a little while   Before I died      Don't ask me to forget you   'Cause you mean too much to me   I couldn't even if I tried   Too many memories      My yesterday's were happy days   And each memory's locked inside   At least I lived a little while   Before I died      I lived long enough to know   The sweet thrill of your lips   I knew happiness   Right down to my finger tips      You'll always be a part of me   And though you can't be mine   At least I lived a little while   Before I died
