Lyrics
LOVING ON BORROWED TIME
C WITZEL/JONES
Dawn breaks, the city sleeps
I grab a kiss as you head for the back door
You promise that you'll leave her soon
And we'll be together, forevermore....
But I've started to wonder
If you'll ever be all mine
It's been almost a year
Nothing's changed and I fear
I'm LOVING ON BORROWED TIME
When noon comes the phone'll ring
You'll say "Not tonight, it's not in the cards..."
You'll whisper that you love me so
When we're not together, I'm right in your heart
But I've started to realize
You won't ever be all mine
I'm losing this race
And it's so hard to face
I'm LOVING ON BORROWED TIME
But when I'm in your arms alone
Your eyes say that it's only me
And when you're in my bed at last
Your kiss says I should keep believing...
When night falls and the city wakes
I'll lay down alone and picture your arms around her
I'll tell myself I'll leave you soon
I just need one more chance to hear the sound of your laughter...
I know there's no future
I tried to believe you would be mine
I hang on to each day
While love's slipping away
'Cause I'm LOVING ON BORROWED TIME
I know there's no future
I tried to believe you would be mine
I hang on to each day
As love's slipping away
'Cause I'm LOVING ON BORROWED TIME
