Nothing Last Forever
Words of the wise
It came back to my mind
When she looked deep into my eyes
Slowly we became lost into the sea
Just you and me
Us swimming around
Trying to find common ground
A diamond in the rough
A bag full of pearls
The thought of you being in my life
My wife my world
Sometimes I look
Look up at the sky
And stare at the clouds
Visioning us walking down the isle
I could have been your umbrella
I would have had you covered
The rain wouldn't t have touched you
But you wouldn't t change
So you became like all the other
Stars in the sky that lost that light
So bright at first
But fell by night
No need for sorrow
There's s always tomorrow
In the back of my mind you will be
Just a memory
Nothing lasts forever
That's what they say
I had to remind myself of that
When it came to that day
I was receiving no letters
When I was away
Away from home
But home is where I stay
I didn't see the big deal
But I saw what was real
That's when I said
Nothing lasts forever
Pull yourself together
Think
Would you want that in your wife?
A woman who's s so caught up with her own life
That she seems to forget
The man she sleeps with
Or the man who makes sure she has what she needs
And does his best to relieve
Her stress
And carefully her body he caresses
She might not know
But at night he thanks God and believes
She's his blessing
But that's s when he had to remind himself that
Nothing last forever
My trip is almost over
I'm glad I found out now
Now that I'm a solider
On to my next quest
While at night staring at the stars
Hoping to see you shooting out from the sky
Wherever you are
God gone send you to me
You better not cross my path
I'd know right away form that Immediate connection
In my mind I'd laugh
You wouldn't know
That
Your smile
Your sent
Your glow
Would be of an Angel
Sent only for me
And I'd take no time of that one and only opportunity
And be able to finally say
You know that they say
Nothing last forever
But
We gone last forever
We gone make it through
Through
This thing together
