Rest Of My Life

This was written for my new book, tentatively titled Rise From the Fall. 

​

The book will have at least an album worth of original lyrics, some new, some already on here.

Verse 1 (Male singer):

​

Laying here beside you
watching you dream as you sleep
Can’t put my finger on it
but there’s something about you.

​

I got something to ask you
just don’t know that I’ll ever get the nerve
so I look down and whisper
will you be mine for the rest of my life?

​

Chorus (Male singer):

​

And here I am, with everything to lose
but having you here
I know I don’t ever want this feeling to end.

​

So I’ll take the leap
praying I don’t cause this all to fall apart
by asking if you’ll be mine for the rest of my life
 

Verse 2 (Female singer):

​

Laying here with my eyes closed
waiting for you to put your head next to mine
don’t remember the last time I felt like this
safe and loved all at the same time.

​

I got something to ask you
just the fear or what you’ll say always makes me stop
and as you lay down next to me, I whisper
will you be mine for the rest of my life?


Chorus (Female singer):

​

And here I am, with everything to lose
but having you here
I know I don’t ever want this feeling to end.

​

So I’ll take the leap
praying I don’t cause this all to fall apart
by asking if you’ll be mine for the rest of my life.


 

Bridge (both):


I know there’ll be hard times coming
nothing’s good all the time
but as long as you’re there each night
and every morning when I open my eyes
there’s no where else I wanna be
for the rest of my life.
 

Chorus (both):

​

And here I am, with everything to lose
but having you here
I know I don’t ever want this feeling to end.

​

So I’ll take the leap
praying I don’t cause this all to fall apart
by asking if you’ll be mine for the rest of my life
