We Three Lyrics

Verse 1
I know that time has numbered my breaths
But I want you there when I breathe my last
Your beauty is as beauty was
And you'll always be the one I love

If I can't feel your heart beat
You're too far away
If I can't dry your tears
You're too far away
Once in a while love gives a fairytale

I shall not shed no more tears
Cause with you I lose all my fears
From the morning light to the evening star
Always know how special you are

Chorus
If I can't feel your heart beat
You're too far away
If I can't dry your tears
You're too far away
Once in a while love gives a fairytale

I know that time has numbered my breaths
But I want you there when I breathe my last
