Better To Live Than To Die

"Clark my dear, smoking is not good for your health;
It's bad for your heart and not good for your lungs.
You're squandering your money on certain death;
And the foul, putrid stench, hangs on you like dung.

Yes my love, I know it's difficult to stop;
Though it's always better to live than to die.
I fear your fate as I look into your eyes;
Consequently, I'm now telling you - Goodbye."

"Yet, our lives could have been full living for love;
Living for each other; the child we would raise.
Destiny's fate and our tomorrow's last chance;
A platter splendid, with life's finest buffets.

I'll still be waiting if you should change your mind;
A higher love I'm certain, you'll never find.
