How Long Will It Last - Colin Hay

I knew this piece of string

Ties us together

But will it ever break in two

I don’t believe what they say is true

That nothing lives forever

But I keep asking you

How long will it last

Now the dye is cast

Does this love have to fade away

How long will it last

When you walk into the room

My whole world gets brighter

And with a smile you wash my fears away

But that old familiar tune

Walks in behind her

And then she sings to you

How long will it last

Now the spell is cast

Does this love have to fade away

How long will it last

I used to think that nothing really matters

I could turn my head and walk away

There’s no crystal ball

Long ago it shattered

Leaving only echos in the hall

Here we are again

Another day is over

An so we kiss the sun goodnight

And all we really know

Is what we believe in We may be wrong, we may be right

How long will it last

Will the feeling pass

Does this love have to fade away

How long will it last

Does this love have to fade away

How long will it last
