Here I stand in the cold Watching everything getting old Some look for diamonds, some dig for gold The greatest story ever told
We haven’t got much We haven’t got a lot Someday your heart stops beating Someday your heart stops beating That’s why I push my luck That’s why I try it on ‘Cause when your heart stops beating Then you’re gone, gone, gone
Heaven sent me low I said not yet, I’m not going You think I’m joking, I’m serious as stone When the world is smoking just let it go
We haven’t got much We haven’t got a lot Someday your heart stops beating Someday your heart stops beating That’s why I push my luck That’s why I try it on ‘Cause when your heart stops beating Then you’re gone, gone, gone
Trying to find the words is just a lie Trying to find the words to hide behind You won’t be the first to waste your time Or mine
We haven’t got much We haven’t got a lot Someday your heart stops beating Someday your heart stops beating That’s why I push my luck That’s why I try it on ‘Cause when your heart stops beating Then you’re gone, gone, gone
That’s why I live my life like there’s no tomorrow Live my life like the days don’t follow (Gone, gone, gone) (Gone, gone, gone) That’s why I live my life like there’s no tomorrow Live my life like the days don’t follow ‘Cause when your heart stops beating Then you’re gone, gone, gone
