One Lifetime With You

If I choose the cure... one day I'll be old. Then I hope I'm there to see it. My father dreamed an endless night; You kept a place by firelight. No questions when I couldn't speak, No promises you couldn't keep. An ancient scroll had named my fate; Beside your fire, I chose to stay. They call me Dragonborn in song; You know the nights I don't feel strong. We crossed where stolen spirits roam, Yet you made strange roads feel like home. You need no dawn to earn my heart; I've loved you here, inside the dark. Now every road I want to take Begins beside you when I wake. One lifetime with you, Let the years come, let them go. Let them leave us lines of laughter, Let them find us coming home. There's a world in every morning That I get to share with you. Give me days worth growing old for - One lifetime with you. I've decided. I'm going to ask for the cure. You know I'd stay either way. I know. I want this for myself. And I want you there when I come back. I walked alone beyond the reeds, Past sleeping roofs and winter trees. The mage spoke softly in the gray; I felt the hunger slip away. Warm on my skin, the morning grew; I left the stones and walked to you. You're smiling. Don't look so surprised. Come on. We're wasting daylight. One lifetime with you, Let the years come, let them go. Let them leave us lines of laughter, Let them find us coming home. There's a world in every morning That I get to share with you. Give me days worth growing old for - One lifetime with you. We'll mend the roof and burn the bread, Leave half a dozen books unread. Still take the roads beyond the pines, Then bring our muddy boots inside. When silver finds us, strand by strand, I'll kiss your cheek and take your hand. No stolen years, no debt to pay - Just choosing you another day. One lifetime with you, Let the years come, let them go. Let them leave us lines of laughter, Let them find us coming home. There's a world in every morning That I get to share with you. All these days worth growing old for - One lifetime with you. Still here? Still yours. Good. We've got all morning.
