Also titled ‘Love Me To Death,' this heartfelt song speaks to anyone who has lost a significant other.
‘What a way to go
What a way to die
If just once in my life
I get to feel this alive with you
So good and tender
In that sweet moment of surrender
When I close my eyes
And held my very breath
And let you love me to death'
Kathie Lee teamed up with Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter Brett James to complete the song and the duet that followed is absolutely stunning. Each and every single note is full of hope and truth.
