And she said, "I've been searchin' for you
Since the dawn of time"
And she said, "I'll be waitin' for you
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time"
And I closed my eyes
And then she sighed
For she was slippin' away
Slippin' away
And she said, "I've been yearnin' for you, for you
Since the dawn of time"
And she said, "I'll be burnin' for you, for you
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time"
And I touched her hair
But she wasn't there
For she was slippin' away
Slippin' away
Then she rocked me (Lord, how high)
She rolled me
Until it touched the sky
She told me (the reason why)
The reason why
She was slippin' away
The reason why
She was slippin' away
She needed love, love, love, come on, love
She needed love, child
She was slippin' away
She needed love, love, love, come on, love
She needed love, child
She was slippin' away
She needed love, love, love, come on, love
She needed love, child
She was slippin' away
She needed love, love, love
(On the street, she took her love) Come on, love
She needed love, child
(Lord) She was slippin' away
So I said, "I've been searchin' for you, for you
Since the dawn of time"
So I said, "I'll be waitin' for you, for you
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time"
For you
'Til the end of time
For you
'Til the end of time
And I closed my eyes
And then she sighed
For she was slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
