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 frownThe 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, ooh, to believe
It wasn't wasted time, you sipping gin and lime
You had to walk away, it haunts you every dayThe 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 can't sustainThe 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
You're floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love can't sustainThe 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
