verse 1
Did you know there were times in my life
When I thought I was close to you
Growing up with a boy by my side
As a partner in crime
What a time, and we both didn?t know that one
Day we?d be saying goodbye
Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my
verse 2
I remember the times that we played
In the neighbourhood close to you
And that promise you gave me that warm
Summer night in July
Time goes by, and they?re saying that you have been
Growing up much more than I
Nothing ever lasts forever my oh my
Chorus
Tell me why does this make me
Feel so sad and lonely
When I never thought you could
Be the one and only
Goodbye past
Is it true that the good things don?t last
verse 3
Now you tell me there?s somebody else
In your life that is close to you
And I desperately try to find something
That I could reply
I could cry but there?s one thing I have to keep
Telling myself to get by
Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my
Chorus
Tell me why does this make me
Feel so sad and lonely
When I never thought you could
Be the one and only
Goodbye past
Is it true that the good things don?t last
verse 4
As the shadows grow longer
My heartache gets stronger
And maybe it?s time to move on
But it?s hard to ignore
What has happened before
And I cannot forget all the
Times I was close to you
Solo
Chorus
Tell me why does this make me
Feel so sad and lonely
When I never thought you could
Be the one and only
Goodbye past
Is it true that the good things don?t last
Is it true that the good times have passed
