why we bother with love if it never lasts
You remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water You put your arm around me for the first time You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
You said ‘everything was slippin’
right out of our hands I ran out cryin’,
and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye ‘Cause that’s all I’ve ever known Then you took me by surprise You said,
“I’ll never leave you alone”
You said, “I remember how we felt sittin’ by the water And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter She is the best thing that’s ever been mine”
