Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends
Embracing Transient Love: Willie Nelson's Poignant Melody
Lyrics
This could be our last goodnight together
This moment could be our final farewell.
We may never pass this way again
We might not have the opportunity to experience this again.
Just let me enjoy 'till its over
Allow me to savor the moment until it concludes.
Or forever
It could be the end of our relationship, possibly forever.
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Kindly refrain from revealing the conclusion of our story.
See the way our shadows come together
Observe how our shadows merge in unity.
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Gentler than the touch of your fingers on my skin.
Someday this may be all
In the future, this may be the only recollection we have.
That we'll remember
Our memories might be limited to this moment.
Of each other
It could be the only lasting impression we leave on each other.
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Reiterating the plea not to disclose the conclusion of our story.
Never's just the echo of forever
'Never' is merely a reflection of an eternal concept.
Lonesome as the love that might have been
As melancholy as the love that never came to fruition.
Just let me go on loving and believing
Allow me to continue loving and believing until the end.
'Till it's over
Persist in love until the story naturally concludes.
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Reiteration of the request not to reveal the story's conclusion.
Please don't tell me how the story ends
Final repetition of the request not to disclose the story's conclusion.
