I told you once and I'll tell you now
If I lose your love, I'd die somehow
You broke the news to me today
But I need one thing before I go away
Well, you know I'm gonna love you, baby, once before I die
You know I've got to love you, baby, and I ain't gonna cry
There's a time to live and a time to die
A time to love and a time to cry
I've got to reap while you go sow
You're gonna stay and I'm gonna go
Well, you know I'm gonna love you, baby, once before I die
You know I'm gonna love you, baby, and I ain't gonna cry
There's a time to live and a time to die
A time to love and a time to cry
I've got to reap while you go sow
And you're gonna stay and I'm gonna go
Well, you know I'm gonna love you, baby, once before I die
You know I'm gonna love you, baby, once before I die
