As English is not my native tongue, I find it difficult if not impossible to understand the last line of Frank Hennessy's song "Start & End With You". I hope there is someone here that can help.
These are the lyrics that I could understand from YouTube.

If I can start & end my day with you,
With a smile in the morning and love to carry me through,
If I should happen to fall, it clearly doesn’t matter at all,
If I can start and end my day with you,

Like the sunshine follows the rain, follows the snow,
As the seasons change, we’ll watch our feelings grow,
And if we have to weather a storm, our love will keep us warm,
Like the sunshine follows the rain, that follows the snow.

We’ll travel along, singing the song, of our life,
Making music, making love,
I need somebody to care, someone to share,
All our joys and all our sorrows, all our tomorrows.

When I see your smile, my sun comes shining through,
When I’m feeling down you know just what to do,
Sometimes I lay awake, I almost hear the cold dawn break,
And I see your smile and my sun comes shining’ through.

I suppose I’m not the smartest fellow you’ve known,
When I gave my love, I gave it to you alone,
Ah you’ll never have an easy live, as a second-rate singers wife,
But my heart is ……

If I can start and end my day with you.

But my heart is something you know you'll always own.

And for someone who doesn't have English as a first language, you are very adept. Awesome in fact.

I agree with Starship; keen ear!

One slight correction (and this could just be the version I was listening to) is that the third line should go "If I should happen to fall, it really doesn’t matter at all"

Again, that's a very minor thing that doesn't impact the song -- excellent ear! I've tried to do songs in Spanish before and the result was no where near this accurate

Hey, cnd, sure could use your ear on the Tommy Sands thread which is near the bottom now. Two spots are questionable, and it'd be great to have you check it. You too, GUEST,guest.

Both Starship & cnd, thank you very much for your help. Starship, I listened to Tommy Sands' song "Welcome here kind Stranger". What have you got of this song and what are the questionable spots. I'm not sure if I can help but at least I can try.

GUEST,guest:

Sorry not to get back sooner. (Internet was down for a while.) I think we have got the words for the Tommy Sands song, but it sure is kind of you to offer. If you'd be willing, give it a listen just in case.

Please note that the link to the music is in the thread's second post and complete(??) lyrics in the last post. Thanks again

I did listen, the first half of the 3rd line in the last verse: "To bid a soul" I'm not sure about. I think Tommy Sands is singing different words. The rest, I think, is correct.
