Lyrics:

“Till The End”
(with Lee Ann Womack)

[Alan]
If I never see your loving face again
I’ll go on loving you ’till the end[Lee Ann]
And if my broken-hearted love dont find a way to mend
I’ll go on loving you ’till the end

[Alan]
The years and miles may separate you from me

[Lee Ann]
The pain may lessen more as time goes by

[Alan]
But as for me your memories will never fade

[Both]
And I’ll go on loving you ’till the end

If we’re ever free to love again I know

[Lee Ann]
Straight back to your waiting arms is where I’ll go

[Both]
And I’ll stay forever and I’ll prove to you again
I’ll go on loving you ’till the end

[Lee Ann]
And I’ll go on loving you

[Alan]
‘Till the end
