[Verse 1]
You could move away, you could build a home
With somebody I don't know, doesn't matter what you say
It's not ever gonna change, you can fight the truth
'Til your face turns blue, this love is here to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
But there will be a day when I don't hear a sound
I'll be six feet underground
[Chorus]
And that'll be the day I lose you (Ooh, ooh)
That'll be the day I lose you (Ooh, ooh)
That'll be the day
[Verse 2]
I could pretend that I have a chance
At another romance, but, honey, in the end
Even if I tried, I'll be wastin' breath
I'll be fakin' sex 'cause you'll be on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
But there will be a day when I don't hear a sound
I'll be six feet underground
[Chorus]
And that'll be the day I lose you (Ooh, ooh)
That'll be the day I lose you (Ooh), mm (Ooh)
[Outro]
Will you come over tonight?
We can swallow our pride
We can swallow some wine
'Cause there will be a day I lose you
