Did you know there were times in my life When I thought I was close to you Growing up with a boy by my side As a partner in crime What a time And we both didn't know that one day we'd be saying goodbye Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my I remember the times that we played in the neighbourhood close to you And that promise you gave me that warm Summer night in July Time goes by And they're saying that you have been growing up much more than I Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my Tell me why does this make me feel so sad and lonely When I never thought you could be the one and only Goodbye past, is it true that the good things don't last Now you tell me there's somebody else in your life That is close to you And I desperately try to find something that I could reply I could cry But there's one thing I have to keep telling myself to get by Nothing ever lasts forever, my oh my Tell me why does this make me feel so sad and lonely When I never thought you could be the one and only Goodbye past, is it true that the good things don't last As the shadows grow longer, my heartache gets stronger And maybe it's time to move on But it's hard to ignore what has happened before And I cannot forget all the times I was close to you Tell me why does this make me feel so sad and lonely When I never thought you could be the one and only Goodbye past Is it true that the good things don't last Is it true that the good times have passed
