Intro:
I used to live for passion and the pleasures of the day,
And I was known as quite the early riser.
But lately, I just lie around and moon the hours away-
A hopeless fantasizer - sad, but so much wiser..

Don’t sing of loveknots and valentines,
Don’t sing of moondrops swimming in the wine,
Sing of the rocks where our wayward ship was tossed,
Seems the only love that lasts is love you lost.

I’m through with dances under starlit skies,
Through with glances from dark enchanted eyes,
I’ve weighed my chances and added up the cost,
And the only love that lasts is love you lost.

Young love is a fire burning
That fades with the chill of night.
When love is gone, there’s a hungry yearning
That stays by your side and holds you tight.

No dream of riches or battles I have won,
No stolen kisses, or seasons in the sun,
I dream of bridges - the ones I never crossed,
Seems the only love that lasts is love you lost.
