NOTHING LASTS FOREVER

He's waiting down at the corner under the streetlight He's only following orders 'til midnight And then he'll sneak back home to his wife, and his everyday life He says he's been at the pub with the boys all of the night She acts as if she don't know says it's alright But he knows she don't believe him On and on, on and on Cause nothing lasts forever And nothing lasts forever Everything dies eventually Cover your eyes if you don't want to see And nothing lasts forever And nothing lasts forever Everything dies eventually Cover your eyes if you don't want to see And nothing lasts forever (And nothing lasts forever) This isn't how she thought that her life would be When they first met back in '63 And a future together was all she could see all she could see He said if you stick with me then you know we'll be alright A family for the rest of our lives And I'll always be by your side... and that's when she cried On and on, on and on Cause nothing lasts forever And nothing lasts forever Everything dies eventually Cover your eyes if you don't want to see And nothing lasts forever And nothing lasts forever Everything dies eventually Cover your eyes if you don't want to see And nothing lasts forever (And nothing lasts forever) So he takes off his tie and he tells another lie She only believed it for a minute And she doesn't ask why, she doesn't want to pry She only believed it for a minute He's walking out of the door and into a new life He's already got plans with his new wife And a house in a new neighborhood He says he's been at the pub with the boys all of the night She acts as if she don't know says it's alright But he knows she don't believe him But she's sick of arguing On and on, on and on And nothing lasts forever And nothing lasts forever Everything dies eventually Cover your eyes if you don't want to see And nothing lasts forever And nothing lasts forever Everything dies eventually Cover your eyes if you don't want to see And nothing lasts forever (And nothing lasts forever) Forever and nothing lasts forever (She's been walking around with her heart dragging on the ground She don't need to frown) Forever (She's been walking around with her heart dragging on the ground) Forever (She don't need to frown)
