Forever

There was a time

When time stood still

It was when you

Looked into my eyes

And said you loved me so

How was I to know

It wouldn’t last

Now it’s all in the past

There was a day 

When all my dreams came true

It was when you held my hand

And said, Will you marry me?

My heart danced with glee

How was I to know

The flowers which bloomed that day

Were destined to wither away

There were those years

when we made the most of each day

Lived it to the fullest

As if there was no tomorrow

How was I to know

That we used up all our todays

And now we can only look back on yesterday

And now’s the time

When I look at you

And wonder where 

Is all that joy and fun

Where all those years have gone

How was I to know

However wise we may be, or clever

In the end, nothing lasts forever
