Lyrics


I Thought It Would Last Forever Too


I remember those days
When I was younger than I am,
We would run and play the whole day through.
And we swore we would stay
Together 'til the end.
And I thought it would last forever too.

And when we grew and found
New people in our lives,
We fell in love and I cherished you.
And we swore we would stay
Together to the end,
And I thought it would last forever too.



Chorus
The wind is blowing stronger now,
The sky is turning gray,
The days of youth are playing in my mind,
We lived and loved and played our parts
And as the years went by,
I thought I'd always have you by my side.

The days are getting shorter now
And friends have come and gone,
Their busy lives have taken them too soon.
But we swore we would stay
Together to the end,
And I thought it would last forever too.

Chorus
The wind is blowing stronger now,
The sky is turning gray,
The days of youth are playing in my mind,
Oh we lived and loved and played our parts
And as the years went by,
I thought I'd always have you by my side.

We lived and loved and played our parts
And as the years went by,
I thought I'd always have you by my side.

Reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt. Heartfelt vocal delivery. Nice organ underpinning. Like the background vocals. Very tasty guitar solo.
