He´s waiting down at the corner under the streetlight

He´s only following orders ´til midnight
And then he´ll sneak back home to his wife,
And his everyday life.
He says he´s been at the pub with the boys all the night,
She acts as if she don´t know says its alright.
But he knows she don´t believe him.

On and on, on and on.

[chorus]
Cause nothing lasts forever,
And nothing lasts forever.
Everything dies eventually,
Cover your eyes if you don´t want to see. [x2]
And nothing lasts forever, and nothing last forever

[verse]
This isn´t how she thought that her life would be.
When they first met back in ´63,
And a future together was all she could see.
All she could see.
He said if you stick with me,
Then you know we´ll be alright.
A family for the rest of our lives,
And i´ll always be by your side.
And that´s when she cried.

On and on, on and on.

[chorus]
Cause nothing lasts forever,
And nothing lasts forever.
Everything dies eventually,

Cover your eyes if you don´t want to see. [x2]
And nothing last forever, and nothing last forever

[verse]
So he takes off his tie and he tells another lie,
She only believed it for a minute.
And she dosen´t ask why,
She doesn´t want to cry.
She only believes it for a minute.
He´s walking out the door and into a new life,
He´s already got plans with his new wife,
And a house in a new neighborhood.
He says he´s been at the pub with the boys all night,
She acts as if she don´t know, says its alright.
But he knows she don´t believe him,
But she´s sick of arguing.

On and on, on and on.

[chorus]
Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing lasts forever
Everything dies eventually
Cover your eyes if you don´t want to see [x2]
And nothing last forever, and nothing last forever

[verse]
She´s been waking around,
With her heart dragging on the ground.
She don´t need to frown. [x2]
