Lyrics
The Wayback Machine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why are all the good things gone?
Like Louis Armstrong
Buddy Holly, Billie Holiday
Those old record sleeves seem to say
That everything beautiful in this world must fade away.
Humming old Brian Wilson songs
Summer nights used to last so long
Sitting out on the Dock of the Bay
With Otis Redding
I walk down the same old streets
It's like 20 years ago
It's like 20 days from now
When I forget everything I know
Can you promise me forever?
Can you promise me forever?
Forever, what does that mean?
Forever and ever, I want just one more night together with you
Forever and ever, I want just one more night together with you
Can you promise me forever?
Can you promise me forever?
Forever, what does that mean?
