Too good to last, how those four words ring in my ears. A voice from the past has been heard again, Whether it's real or not, I can't say I care But my memory's going and my mind is losing its grip. I'm walking on thinning ice. Soon I shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance. It's hard to bear but harder still To tell the one I care for, Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away. Millions of people won't know what I mean, None can appreciate somebody else's's dream. Thousands of reasons for staying alive Explode into fragments, Dissolve into nothing. As I prepare for the oncoming night, Already I feel a creeping coldness chilling my bones, Dulling my sight and mind. Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed. Nature dies and is reborn, but I shan't weather this coming storm. Not for me to die with children around my bed After a happy life, Though rain will fall ad the sun won't change in its course. It's hard to bear but harder still To tell the one I care for, Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away. Millions of people won't know what I mean, None can appreciate somebody else's's dream. Thousands of reasons for staying alive Explode into fragments, Dissolve into nothing. As I prepare for the oncoming night
