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 bow tie We'll pretend we're happy though we know it's a lie So let's live a little before we say goodbye
You'll be my queen of beauty I'll be proud of you, my cutie Let's live a little before we say goodbye Someday our hair will turn gray And we will think of yesterday So let's live a little before we say goodbye
The band will be playing a waltz just for two And 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
