Lyrics
I THINK WE BETTER THINK 4:00
Words by Larry Smith Music by Mark Vincent Pence ©1989
V1
I THINK WE BETTER THINK
ABOUT SAYING GOODBYE
THE SAME WAY THAT WE SAID HELLO
AND I THINK IF WE TRY
THAT WE CAN DECIDE
JUST WHO?LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO GO
FOR THE BRIDGES DON?T CROSS
THE SAME WATER THEY DID
WHEN WE CROSSED A LONG TIME AGO
AND THE FLAMES IN THE NIGHT
FROM THOSE BRIDGES BURN BRIGHT
AND THE MEMORIES WILL HAUNT US I KNOW
I THINK WE BETTER THINK
ABOUT SAYING GOODBYE
AS WE LET THESE TWO HEARTS START TO MEND
THOUGHT THERE TATTERED AND TORN
MAYBE SOMEDAY THEY WILL LOVE ONCE AGAIN
V2
A ROSE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT LOVE AND AFFECTION
EACH PETAL A REASON TO TRY
IF THE ROSE GETS TOO WORN
AND THE PETALS GET TORN
LIKE A HEART IT MAY WHITHER AND DIE
FOR THE FIELDS THAT WERE OPEN
TO US ARE ALL GONE
TAKIN DREAMS THAT WE CHASED ALL THE WAY
AND OUR LOVE UP AND DIED
WHEN TWO BROKEN HEARTS CRIED
AND THERE ARE NO MORE REASONS TO STAY
SO I THINK WE BETTER THINK ABOUT SAYIN GOODBYE
BUT AT LEAST WE CAN SAY THAT WE TRIED
AND I WISH YOU THE BEST
HAVE A GOOD LIFE
SEE YOU ROUND AND GOODBYE
AND I WISH YOU THE BEST
HAVE A GOOD LIFE
SEE YOU ROUND AND GOODBYE
