Don't you see?

It wasn't meant to be

Keep on till you die

When lying down

We kick the crying clown

And there's never a thought

Of how he lifts a frown



The longer you love

The longer you live

The stronger you feel

The more you can give



It's dying like sand, sand in a sieve

Where is the time to remain?



Well don't forget

The day you ever met

Trying to believe

It wasn't wasted time

You sipping gin and wry

You had to walk away

It haunts you every day



The longer you love

The longer you live

The stronger you feel

The more you can give



Floating away, day in the rain

The lady you love can't sustain



The longer you love

The longer you live

The stronger you feel

The more you can give



We're dying like sand, sand in a sieve

Where is the time to remain?



The longer you love

The longer you live

The stronger you feel

The more you can give



Floating away, day in the rain

The lady you love can't sustain



The longer you love

The longer you live

The stronger you feel

The more you can give



You're floating away, day in the rain

The lady you love will sustain
