'Til I Reach the End

from Urban Waltzes

Don’t make me take my final bow

Don’t ask if the show’s over now

Don’t think of what you’ve seen or how

‘Til I reach the end

Don’t wait for the stage lights to fall

Don’t expect a lavish curtain call

Don’t make a sound at all

‘Til I reach the end

It’s the last song of the night

One I thought I’d never do

See, I told myself I’d write

Just one last tune to you

So forgive me if my hands are slow

If I play through every chord I know

‘Cause I won’t let you go

‘Til I reach the end

Let me live here in this song

Let the time beat with my chest

I’ll rewrite where we went wrong

And just reprise all the rest

I’ll hold you in my arms again

Stay miles away from this sad show we’re in

Cling to what could have been

‘Til I reach the end
