lyrics

It couldn’t last forever,
even then I must have known,
Must have sensed some sort of waning
with each party that was thrown,
But, still, I long for simpler days,
when we had yet to drift apart,
When I still felt that I could trust you with
the deepest reaches of my heart.

O! What a time we had! What a world we shook-
You, playing the piano, and me, leaning in its crook...
If all the world’s a stage, and we all have a role to play,
Then how could I forget my lines asking you to stay?

Those times seem lacy to me now...
brittle, yet sublime,
A lovely relic rife with holes,
but still a brilliant design.

It couldn’t last forever,
even then we must have known,
But wasn’t it so awfully nice
to not be all alone?
O! What a time we had! What a world we shook-
You, playing the piano, and me, leaning in its crook...
If all the world’s a stage, and we all have a role to play,
Then how could I forget my lines asking you to stay?

Those times seem lacy to me now...
brittle, yet sublime,
A lovely relic rife with holes,
but still a beautiful design.

It couldn’t last forever,
even then we must have known,
But wasn’t it so awfully nice
to not be all alone?
But wasn’t it so awfully nice,
wasn’t it so awfully nice,
So awfully nice to not be all alone?
