Until Then
Until the sun quits shining
Until the moon quits glowing.
Until the miners quit mining.
Until the the rivers quit flowing.
Until the birds quit singing.
And the leave quit falling
Until the snow quits snowing
Until the the sky's quit crying
Until there is no tomorrow.
Nor breath in my body.
Nor beat in my heart.
I will love thee until the end of time.
Until then....know that I am yours,
