We are celebrating love here on the blog for Song Lyric Sunday and I went with a song that seems like the opposite of love from the title, but it’s actually all about love. It’s about embracing this moment right now because you never know when the one you love will be gone.
I’m going a little more main stream this week, so I’d be surprised if you haven’t heard this song since it’s one that is getting overplayed right now. Don’t you hate it when radio stations do that? I do, but then there are people who listen to the same song on repeat because they love it so much, so maybe it isn’t all that weird.
Anyway, here is my Song Lyric Sunday pick for this week. Please feel free to read the “rules” below and join in with one of your own.
Favorite Line: “I’ll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets.”
Like I’m Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor (featuring John Legend)
Written by Meghan Trainor, Justin Weaver and Caitlyn Smith
Lyrics found at AZ Lyrics
I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows we were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone
I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we’re not promised tomorrow
So I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna hold you
Like I’m saying goodbye wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted ’cause we’ll never know when
When we’ll run out of time so I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know
So I’ll kiss you longer baby
Any chance that I get
I’ll make the most of the minutes and love with no regrets
Let’s take our time
To say what we want
Use what we got
Before it’s all gone
‘Cause no, we’re not promised tomorrow
So I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna hold you
Like I’m saying goodbye wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted ’cause we’ll never know when
When we’ll run out of time so I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna hold you
Like I’m saying goodbye wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted ’cause we’ll never know when
When we’ll run out of time so I’m gonna love you
Like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
Here are the โrulesโ:
- Post the lyrics to a favorite song or a new song you want to share
- I’ve started including who wrote the song. (I think it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due)
- Make sure you also credit the singer/band and provide a link to where you found the lyrics
- Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song
- Ping back to this post or my own Song Lyric Sunday post
- Read at least one other personโs blog so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process
Today’s Song Lyric Sunday is combined with Love Is In Da Blog hosted by Just Fooling Around with Bee.
Uhm, I haven’t :-). Interesting choice!

Wonderful lyrics. And John Legend. What an interesting attitude to love — but it works.
