Me and My Sunset Love !

'bye-bye my love, ' she said
'our love aint worthy another try'
hand in hand
in the sunset, we stand
'i just want this day to end, ' she says
'so that you can have your first last kiss'
i go east, she heads west
to chase our wildest dreams

to make this day a-never ending
but the sun is sinking
sinking behind the mountains
