Tell me again about that love that lasts forever How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years And I won't think about my pain As I listen to you explain How that perfect love just up and disappears Oh later on when you're gone And I can think again I'll sit down and I'll figure out what went wrong Well I expect to take my licks But life plays dirty tricks I knew that I was sinking but I held on way too long Tell me again about that love that lasts forever It's all happiness and smiles and never tears And I won't think about my pain As I listen to you explain How that perfect love just up and disappears Chestnut eyes and golden hair That's what brought me here I looked at you and froze right in my place There's a line you never cross Between what's won and lost I knew I stepped right over when I stared into your face Tell me again about that love that lasts forever How we'll ride the ups and downs all through the years And I won't think about my pain As I listen to you explain How that perfect love just up and disappears How that perfect love just up and disappears
