You may live for me today
And tomorrow go away
There will be no tear from me
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
You say you stay by my side
That's something we can't decide
We can only wait and see
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
But for now let's live and we may find
That our love will be the lasting kind
Let me be like summer's rain
Quickly end and gone again
It may last eternally
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
And tomorrow go away
There will be no tear from me
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
You say you stay by my side
That's something we can't decide
We can only wait and see
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
But for now let's live and we may find
That our love will be the lasting kind
Let me be like summer's rain
Quickly end and gone again
It may last eternally
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
