Too Good To Ever Last Song Version

Too good - to ever last    

Vs1
When we first met, I never thought
that you could ever love me...
You were the brightest star shining
so high up above me...


Bridge 
I loved the way you stared, with your sparkling eyes...
I loved the way you laughed, out loud until you cried...
I loved the way you moved, with such grace and finesse...
I loved the words you used, the way you'd catch your breath...


Chorus
Guess it was too good... to ever last
I knew the end was coming... but not so fast
I thought the good times... just might be enough...
I guess you got tired ...of my simple love


Vs2
I remember when you said our first kiss
gave you the shivers...
And every time that we made love,
I'd watch you gently quiver


Bridge 
I loved the way you stared, with your sparkling eyes...
I loved the way you laughed, out loud until you cried...
I loved the way you moved, with such grace and finesse...
I loved the words you used, the way you'd catch your breath..


Chorus
Guess it was too good... to ever last
I knew the end was coming, but not so fast
I thought the good times, just might be enough...
I guess you got tired ...of my simple love


Postlude
Now in the heart of the night,
nightmares fade from view
Sometimes when I find peace of mind
I still... dream of you

Amazing song, John, love the beat and the upbeat tone of it though the lyrics are a little sad:)

I like the lyrics to this one more than the last, John. I feel more sad sentiment in the lines of the postlude. Beautifully expressed.
