Lyrics
IT CAN"T LAST
Alan R. Hesse © 2011
Verse 1
At seventeen she knew that he was the one
He was tall and lean his mother's only son
Everyone tried to warn them you're taking a real big chance
What can two young kids know about real romance?
Chorus1
It can't last you're much too young
There are so many things you haven't seen and done
And don't you know you're moving way too fast
You think this will go on forever but it can't last
Verse 2
They bought and old used car and a little house out of town
Worked two jobs and held each other through ups and downs
Raised two boys and a girl, and on each anniversary day
Toasted their love with the words their friends used to say
Chorus 2
It can't last you're much too young.
Yet look at us now and the things we've seen and done
We both know life is moving too fast
But they were wrong when they told us it can't last
Bridge
After 40 years together in honor of their wedding day
Mom and Dad toasted each other, and I heard them say
Chorus 3
We fell in love when we were young
And together there are so many things we've seen and done
We both know life is moving too fast
But our love will last forever 'cause true love lasts.

Yes they were wrong when they told us it can't last.
