Dorothy Parker - Nocturne lyrics

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
