(Intro) (Smooth, syncopated Rhodes piano chords with a subtle finger snap beat) (Verse 1) The candles flicker and the house grows still The world is turning against its will But in the quiet of this holy place I’m memorizing every line across your face They say the fire always turns to ash That nothing’s meant to last the crash. (Pre-Chorus) But I’m not playing by the rules they made My heart’s a debt that’s already been paid. (Chorus) I’m gonna love you till the stars run out of breath Past the final heartbeat, through the life and death When the world goes quiet and the lights go dim I’ll be the hand you hold, I’ll be the strength within Yeah, from the first hello to the bitter bend I’m loving you, I’m loving you till the very end. (Verse 2) (Bass kicks in, more groove) If the colors fade into a shade of gray And the memories start to drift away I’ll be the anchor in the rising tide With nowhere left for the truth to hide I don’t need a miracle, I don’t need a sign Just the steady rhythm of your heart on mine. (Chorus) I’m gonna love you till the stars run out of breath Past the final heartbeat, through the life and death When the world goes quiet and the lights go dim I’ll be the hand you hold, I’ll be the strength within Yeah, from the first hello to the bitter bend I’m loving you, I’m loving you till the very end. (Bridge) (Vocals get powerful, gospel-inspired ad-libs) It’s a "forever" kind of soul A love that makes the broken whole When the clock stops ticking and the sky falls down I’ll be the one still standing on this ground! (Guitar/Keys Solo) (Smooth, soulful R&B solo with a bit of grit) (Chorus) (Start stripped back, then build to a climax) I’m gonna love you till the stars run out of breath Past the final heartbeat, through the life and death When the world goes quiet and the lights go dim I’ll be the hand you hold, I’ll be the strength within Yeah, from the first hello to the bitter bend I’m loving you, I’m loving you... (Outro) (Soft and soulful) Till the very end... Yeah, I’m loving you... Always... (Final piano chord fades out)
