  • If I had no more time
    No more time left to be here
    Would you cherish what we had?
    Was I everything that you were looking for?
    If I couldn't feel your touch
    And no longer were you with me
    I'd be wishing you were here
    To be everything that I'd be looking for
    I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
    And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
    'Cause Lord only knows another day here is not really guaranteed

    So every time you hold me
    Hold me like this is the last time
    Every time you kiss me
    Kiss me like you'll never see me again
    Every time you touch me
    Touch me like this is the last time
    Promise that you'll love me
    Love me like you'll never see me again

    Oh, oh, oh

    How many really know what love is?
    Millions never will
    Do you know until you lose it
    That it's everything that we are looking for?
    When I wake up in the morning
    You're beside me
    I'm so thankful that I found
    Everything that I been looking for

    I don't wanna forget the present is a gift
    And I don't wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
    'Cause Lord only knows another day here is not really guaranteed

    So every time you hold me
    Hold me like this is the last time
    Every time you kiss me
    Kiss me like you'll never see me again
    Every time you touch me
    Touch me like this is the last time
    Promise that you'll love me
    Love me like you'll never see me again

    So every time you hold me
    Hold me like this is the last time
    Every time you kiss me
    Kiss me like you'll never see me again
    (Can you do that for me, baby?)
    Every time you touch me
    (See, we don't really know)
    Touch me like this is the last time
    (See, everyday we never know)
    Promise that you'll love me
    (I want you to promise me)
    Love me like you'll never see me again
    (Like you'll never see me again)

  • Tiffany from Easton, PaThis Song Head The Chord On Of Adore By Prince NOT Purple Rain.
  • Roy from Boston, MaThe melody and chord progression for this song is borrowed directly from Purple Rain by Prince. It's very apparent if you hear the intro to Purple Rain on guitar or keyboards (it's played this way in the movie except for the album version peformed at the end).
  • Cassandra from Duluth, MnI really like this song I think that evrybody should take time to listen to it.
