The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I never thought there could be a love like yours and mine

I never dreamed that I would see the day that I would find

A love that feels so right, but here we are tonight

And now the only thing we really need is time

We live on borrowed time

No one can be sure when the loan will finally come due

But I'm loving all of mine, I know what time is for,

I've borrowed it so I can spend it all right here with you

There was a time when I believed that life held guarantees

There was a time when I was sure my future was secure,

But life had other plans, the future's in God's hands

And knowing that just makes me love you even more

We live on borrowed time

Yesterday is past, tomorrow seems a million miles away

But I promise you that I'm gonna make love last

By living every moment, every hour, every day

Now we may have a year, or we may have a lifetime,

No one can be certain what the future will allow,

But you and I are here, and this time is the right time

'Cause one thing that I know is that we have each other now, and now,

And we live on borrowed time

Let's celebrate and sing as we walk bravely into the unknown

'Cause we're gonna be just fine, whatever life may bring,

We'll face it all together and we'll never be alone

We'll face it all together and we'll never be alone
