Lyrics
Nothing Lasts Forever
[Verse 1]
With all those days that pass me by, I quite often wonder why.
Is there a meaning to it all? As summer fades into the fall.
[Chorus]
Cause I know, nothing lasts forever.
Ooo. Nothing lasts, my friend. I keep searching for reasons why. As I watch the stars drift by. Will we ever know why?
[Verse 2]
[When the echoes fade away, and the night feels cold and grey, Remember every step we've made, the battles lost, the ones we've saved.
[Chorus]
Cause for now, nothing lasts forever.
Ooo. Nothing lasts, my friend. I still search for reasons why.
As I watch the stars drift by. Will someday I know why?
[Bridge-Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Cause for now, nothing lasts forever.
Ooo. Nothing lasts, my friend.
I still search for reasons why. As I watch the clouds drift by. Will someday I know why?
[Verse 3]
Though the past may call my name, sounding echoes of old pain, I'll turn the page and walk ahead--tomorrow's light is there instead.
[Chorus]
For I know, nothing lasts forever.
Ooo. Nothing lasts, my friend.
I'll still search for reasons why.
As I watch the clouds drift by. I can always still try.
