People say forever like it's no big deal
Promise that they'll never when they probably will
Act as tho' they've got some kind of crystal ball or key
To let them see exactly what the future's gonna be

Rivers that we thought would always run go dry
Stars burn brightly then they fade away
I don't know how long this love will be strong
But it's more than one more day

Kings and ancient empires
We thought would always stand
Crumble into nothing under wind and sand
And who can say how long
They're gonna feel the way they feel
All I know is right here by your side
I know it's real

Rivers that we thought would always run go dry
Stars burn brightly then they fade away
I don't know how long this love will be strong
But it's more than one more day

Time is just a second hand that ticks away
What is forever but a string of one more days

I don't know how long our love will be strong
But it's more than one more day
I know it's more than one more day
