Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years
And I won't think about my pain
As I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
Oh later on when you're gone
And I can think again
I'll sit down and I'll figure out what went wrong
Well I expect to take my licks
But life plays dirty tricks
I knew that I was sinking but I held on way too long
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
It's all happiness and smiles and never tears
And I won't think about my pain
As I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
Chestnut eyes and golden hair
That's what brought me here
I looked at you and froze right in my place
There's a line you never cross
Between what's won and lost
I knew I stepped right over when I stared into your face
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years
And I won't think about my pain
As I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
How that perfect love just up and disappears
How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years
And I won't think about my pain
As I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
Oh later on when you're gone
And I can think again
I'll sit down and I'll figure out what went wrong
Well I expect to take my licks
But life plays dirty tricks
I knew that I was sinking but I held on way too long
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
It's all happiness and smiles and never tears
And I won't think about my pain
As I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
Chestnut eyes and golden hair
That's what brought me here
I looked at you and froze right in my place
There's a line you never cross
Between what's won and lost
I knew I stepped right over when I stared into your face
Tell me again about that love that lasts forever
How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years
And I won't think about my pain
As I listen to you explain
How that perfect love just up and disappears
How that perfect love just up and disappears
