the moon is calling me tonight
while shadows of the past
are holding me so tight
why have you gone so fast
was there something more I could have done
or was i not meant to be the one

nothing really nothing lasts for long

now here i am in the middle
our kids are nearly grown
we were wild in those old days
but the prize was high i paid
there is always one who walks away
and always one who wants to stay

nothing, nothing lasts for long

another page is turned
i wonder what i’ll find
each day a lesson learned
a moment held in time
and if the [bad word] to an end
i know I’ll do it all again
