'Til I Reach the End
from Urban Waltzes
Written by: Alex Shelbourne
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
