As Long As You Breathe

That feeling of bliss

Of rightness

Of love

May not be for long

May not be for keeps

But whatever you earn

Whatever you steal

That moment is yours

In your heart so deep

Never again

You promise and pray

Not tonight

Not tomorrow

Not ever you say

Yet deep within

You truly know

When asked again

You can never say no

Time passes

Time flies

Yet not a day goes by

When that feeling deserts

When that moment might die

It burns and flares

You yearn and you fight

It shakes you and lifts you

With inexplicable might

You know of its power

You know of its love

You know it will hurt you

But you never give up

That moment was yours

That bliss all your own

Once more you dream

Once more you beseech

No matter the sorrow

No matter tomorrow

That miracle was yours

And yours shall it be

For today

For tomorrow

As long as you breathe
