Always I knew that it could not last
(Gathering clouds, and the snowflakes flying)
Now it is part of the golden past
(Darkening skies, and the night-wind sighing)
It is but cowardice to pretend
Cover with ashes our love's cold crater
Always I've known that it had to end
Sooner or later
Always I knew it would come like this
(Pattering rain, and the gra**es springing)
Sweeter to you is a new love's kiss
(Flickering sunshine, and young birds singing)
Gone are the raptures that once we knew
Now you are finding a new joy greater
Well, I'll be doing the same thing, too
Sooner or later
