He asked her if he could have this dance. She gladly accepted. They danced her head on his right shoulder with his arms carefully placed around her for warmth. The lyrics of the song were ones Brennan didn't know, but thought fit them.
'Til my body is dust
'til my soul is no more
I will love you, love you
He held her a little tighter.
'Til the sun starts to cry
and the moon turns to rust
I will love you, love you
She could sense he was holding back tears now, something in the way his muscles clenched.
And I need to know - will you stay for all
time...forever and a day
Then I'll give my heart 'til the end of all
time...forever and a day
"Oh Bones…he whispered. I tried to hard to be sure…I tried so hard to give you my heart." She felt teardrops on her shoulder. "I really did."
She was thinking so hard she didn't even hear the words until he started whispering them along in her ear.
'Til the storms fill my eyes
and we touch the last time
I will love you, love you
I will love you, love you...
