lyrics

And if we knew that tomorrow was our last
Would you come running
To spend your final night with me
And watch it all go down like a ship that's sinking?
And if it all goes up in flames
And they need someone to blame, well we'll be grinning
'Cuz when it all goes away
If you and I are here to stay then we'll stay living

And even if the stars start falling
Down out of the dark blue sky
You know I know that everything's alright
And even if the moon should tumble
Down beside us, I don't mind
You know I have my best thing by my side

And in twenty million years
When our fossils start to show
On some prehistoric shore
They'll see that you and I have turned
Into piles full of bones
And that mine love yours

And even if the stars start falling
Down out of the dark blue sky
You know I know that everything's alright
And even if the moon should tumble
Down beside us, I don't mind
You know I have my best thing by my side

Believe me, it's the best thing you could see
As we go out of this world together
Oh, my God

And even if the stars start falling
Down out of the dark blue sky
You know I know that everything's alright
And even if the moon should tumble
Down beside us, I don't mind
You know I have my best thing by my side

And even if the rains should fall
Upon the sands of Mexico
And wash away the desert with the tide
And even if the walls should crumble
Down in Paris and in Rome
You know I have my best thing by my side
My side
