Lyrics: Don Black
Music: Frank Wildhorn
Dyin' ain't so bad
Not if you both go together
Only when one's left behind does it get sad
But a short and lovin' life, that ain't so bad
I only hope to God that I go first
I couldn't live on memories
I'm sorry but I'm not that strong
There are some things in life you can't replace
A love like ours don't happen twice
When all his days are through, mine will be too
Dyin' ain't so bad
Not if you both go together
Only when one's left behind does it get sad
But a short and lovin' life, that ain't so bad
I've met boys who talk 'bout farms and horses
But they don't do much for me
I don't need to end up in a rocking chair
Seems you get to live your life just once
If that's how it's gotta be
And I'd rather breathe in life than dusty air
Dyin' ain't so bad
Not if you both go together
Only when one's left behind does it get sad
But a short and lovin' life
A short and lovin' life
A short and lovin' life, that ain't so bad
