It wouldn&#039;t allow me to fit the entire verse here but it&#039;s 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 <br /> Love never fails.

If I die today
If I die tomorrow
Sleep your head upon my pillow
And dream away your every sorrow

If I live today
If I see tomorrow
Light your eyes upon the sun
Across the ocean together we’ll run

If the world dies today
If the world loses tomorrow
Fly us to the farthest moon
Safe to hum our melding tune

If the world lives today
If the sun rises tomorrow
Promise with me to jump off the highest cliff
We’ll miss the moon we borrowed

If you die today
If you have no tomorrow
Kiss me before you vanish away gone
And I’ll turn your life into a song

If you live today
If you await tomorrow
Catch the wind in your hand
Blow it through my hair, my every strand
