If It's the Last Thing I Do

(Doug Gill - Phyllis Austin)



Pain falls around me like a shadow in the night

And it hangs like a curtain till morning brings light

I've been hurting so long I'm starting to wonder

If I will leave you behind

I know I'll forget you it's a matter of time.



If it's the last thing I do I'll sleep without dreaming

Your mem'ry won't wake me to cry in the dark

When my heart isn't beating it might finally quit aching

I'll get over you if it's the last thing I do.



You're my love of a lifetime the one I knew would last

And I know I'll spend my future livin' in my past

But there will come a time when my tears have all fallen

And I can keep livin' for today and this heartache

Will release me and I can fly away.



If it's the last thing I do I'll sleep without dreaming

Your mem'ry won't wake me to cry in the dark

When my heart isn't beating it might finally quit aching

I'll get over you if it's the last thing I do.



I'll get over you if it's the last thing I do...
