If the world ends tonight
Should the lantern of life cease to burn
Should Fate take that irreversible turn
Should you wake up alone one morn
Don’t be sad, don’t be forlorn.
Should there be no tomorrow,
Allow my love to dispel your sorrow
I want you to know how much you mean to me
For I do not know how long together we will be
If the world ends tonight, my love
If separated we are by the gods above,
Forgive me the pain, the hurt and the tears
And move on with your life, my dear.
Fate it was that brought us together,
And fate alone this bond can sever.
Curse not what shall come to pass,
Don’t ever forget me, your bonny lass.
Hold me tight, be mine tonight,
For I may not be here to see the morrow’s light.
