Half of the Rest of My Life Lyrics by Justin Hiltner

Watch it Burn

2018

[Verse 1]
The day I first met you, you walked into my dreams
Never to leave them, or so it would seem
Then my heart was broken when you walked out the door
Sure that I'd never see you anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
But slowly I'm learning there's no need to cry
Closing my eyes brings you back to my side
[Chorus]
The days will be empty and lonely
I'll still dream of you every night
So if I can't have you forever
I'll have you for half of the rest of my life
[Verse 2]
I pass the long hours in daydreams of you
Waiting and wishing the days to be through
My happiest moments are when I'm asleep
With every new sunrise my heart wants to weep
[Chorus]
The days will be empty and lonely
I'll still dream of you every night
So if I can't have you forever
I'll have you for half of the rest of my life
The days will be empty and lonely
I'll still dream of you every night
So if I can't have you forever
I'll have you for half of the rest of my life
