My Love for You (Will Remain)

from Nothin to Write Home About by Sam Steffen

lyrics

If the flesh that hangs upon my bones should whither and decay
And Death from stealing me no longer can abstain
If Time decomposes me and a breeze blows me away
My love for you
My love for you
My love for you will remain

If I give away all that I own, along with my body, to be burned
If I surrendered every ounce that I contain
If my wisdom walked out on me with every lesson I ever learned
My love for you
My love for you
My love for you will remain

At the very end when the world is done, and everything is past
When what hasn’t burned has washed out in the rain
When the flicker of hope’s ember has been extinguished to the last
My love for you
My love for you
My love for you will remain

Further than the boundary of what you or I can know
As we move upon the seas and skies and plains
Here, where you’ve already been, and wherever you may go
My love for you
My love for you
My love for you will remain

Tomorrow, when you are wakened by the unassuming and rosey fingered dawn
And some birdsong comes up rising through your pane
Remember that tho I myself and every trace of me is gone
My love for you
My love for you
My love for you will remain
