Rolling‎ thunder‎ they‎ soon‎ will‎ take‎ me
It's‎ time‎ to‎ go‎ you‎ must‎ forsake‎ me
No‎ going‎ back‎ for‎ it‎ will‎ break‎ me
There‎ comes‎ a‎ time‎ when‎ you‎ can't‎ wake‎ me

Darkness‎ descends‎ its‎ getting‎ colder‎
Time‎ passes‎ by‎ we're‎ getting‎ older‎
I‎ need‎ your‎ strength‎ I‎ need‎ your‎ shoulder‎
So‎ much‎ to‎ say‎ I‎ haven't‎ told‎ her

(Chorus‎)
The‎ choice‎ I‎ had,‎ well‎ it‎ was‎ easy
You're‎ my‎ true‎ love,‎ you‎ always‎ please‎ me
And‎ all‎ I‎ need‎ is‎ you‎ to‎ squeeze‎ me‎
Oh‎ darling,‎ I'd‎ give‎ up‎ heaven‎ just‎ for‎ you


The‎ years‎ we‎ had‎ were‎ truly‎ special‎
Because‎ of‎ you‎ they‎ were‎ not‎ stressful‎
You‎ were‎ my‎ life‎ you‎ were‎ my‎ vessel‎
The‎ love‎ you‎ shared‎ it‎ was‎ essential‎

The‎ great‎ beyond,‎ it‎ starts‎ to‎ beckon‎
I've‎ had‎ my‎ run‎ I‎ truly‎ reckon‎
From‎ time‎ to‎ time‎ I'm‎ sure‎ I'll‎ check‎ in‎
Our last‎ goodbye‎ the‎ sun‎ is‎ settin'

(Chorus‎)
The‎ choice‎ I‎ had,‎ well‎ it‎ was‎ easy
You're‎ my‎ true‎ love,‎ you‎ always‎ please‎ me
And‎ all‎ I‎ need‎ is‎ you‎ to‎ squeeze‎ me‎
Oh‎ darling,‎ I'd‎ give‎ up‎ heaven‎ just‎ for‎ you


You‎ know‎ I'd‎ like‎ to‎ stay‎ for‎ longer‎
I'd‎ make‎ it‎ more‎ if‎ I‎ were‎ stronger‎
To‎ be‎ with‎ you‎ has‎ been‎ an‎ honor‎
There's‎ not‎ a‎ day‎ we‎ ever‎ squandered‎

So‎ hold‎ me‎ close‎ for‎ the last‎ time
Your‎ warm‎ embrace‎ it's‎ always‎ sublime‎
My‎ angel‎ girl‎ a‎ precious love chime
Now‎ hold‎ my‎ hand‎ for the steep climb

(Chorus‎)
The‎ choice‎ I‎ had,‎ well‎ it‎ was‎ easy
You're‎ my‎ true‎ love,‎ you‎ always‎ please‎ me
And‎ all‎ I‎ need‎ is‎ you‎ to‎ squeeze‎ me‎
Oh‎ darling,‎ I'd‎ give‎ up‎ heaven‎ just‎ for‎ you

The‎ choice‎ I‎ had,‎ well‎ it‎ was‎ easy
You're‎ my‎ true‎ love,‎ you‎ always‎ please‎ me
And‎ all‎ I‎ need‎ is‎ you‎ to‎ squeeze‎ me‎
Oh‎ darling,‎ I'd‎ give‎ up‎ heaven‎ just‎ for‎ you
