Take your little lips and kiss me take your little arms and squeeze me
Let's live a little before we say goodbye
I'll draw my money out of the bank I'll buy you roses and pretty things
Let's live a little before we say goodbye
You'll wear a yellow ribbon in your wavy hair
I'll wear the suit you like and a big bowtie
We'll pretend we're happy though we know it's a lie
So let's live a little before we say goodbye
[ steel - guitar ]
You'll be my queen of beauty I'll be proud that you're my cuty
Let's live a little before we say goodbye
Someday our hair will turn grey and we will think of yesterday
Let's live a little before we say goodbye
The band will be playing a waltz just for two I will be saying darling I love you
We'll pretend we're happy though we know it's a lie
So let's live a little before we say goodbye
