Too Good To Last
Fleeting Love's Echo
Lyrics
Every moment bares a trace
Every moment holds a lingering presence or influence.
Every room a memory
Each room carries memories.
Everything is in its place
Everything is in order, except for the speaker.
Except for me
The speaker feels out of place.
I can't escape you
The presence of someone significant is inescapable.
You're here in side me
The person is deeply embedded within the speaker.
And time cant hide me
Time cannot erase the speaker's connection to the past.
From the past
The speaker is haunted by memories.
My heart is lost
The speaker's heart is emotionally adrift.
You're just to good to last
The person being referred to is considered too precious to endure.
Everyday says something new
Each day brings new experiences.
But the nights wont speak at all
Nights are silent but filled with thoughts of the person.
Except in whispers about you
Whispers in the night center around the person.
Like old footsteps in the hall
Remnants of the person linger like old footsteps.
I can't escape you
The person's presence is inescapable, deeply internalized.
You're here in side me
The person resides within the speaker.
And time cant hide me
Time cannot distance the speaker from the past.
From the past
The past continues to affect the speaker.
My heart is lost
The speaker's heart is lost in the memories.
You're just to good to last
The person is considered too good to endure.
Things of great beauty
Beautiful things come and go.
Touches and goes
Love touches briefly and then departs.
Your love once touched me
The impact of the person's love is profound.
More than you'll ever know
The depth of the impact is beyond the person's awareness.
Like a smoke ring in the air
The person's presence is compared to a dissipating smoke ring.
Like a rain drop in the sun
Like a fleeting raindrop in the sun, the person disappears.
One moment you where there
The person is there in one moment and gone in the next.
Then suddenly you're gone
The sudden departure of the person.
I can't escape you
The person's presence continues to linger inside the speaker.
You're here in side me
The person is deeply embedded within the speaker.
And time cant hide me
Time fails to separate the speaker from the past.
From the past
The past continues to affect the speaker's present.
My heart is lost
The speaker's heart remains entangled in memories.
You're just to good to last
The person is considered too precious to endure.
My heart is lost
The speaker's heart remains lost in the memories.
You're just to good to last
The person is deemed too good to last.
