Ellen Foley - This Won't Last Forever lyrics

Go easy when you wake me
If you try to shake me
I think it's gonna make me
Rattle like a tambourine
Time I tried to keep passed by in my sleep
And I don't want to wake up from this dream

This won't last forever
It can't go on and on
This won't last forever
You'll look for me and I'll be gone
I remember death or glory
It was mostly purgatory and a funny story
I'm lucky that I lived to tell
I'm not gonna lie i just want to try
To tell the story straight and tell it well

This won't last forever
It can't go on and on
This won't last forever
You'll look for me and I'll be gone

I know I know I know I know I know
Get up gеt up get up get up and go

While wе're here pretending
There's a happy ending thank you for lending
A sympathetic ear to me and I do believe
You don't have to grieve
But, if you do then save a tear for me

This won't last forever
It can't go on and on
This won't last forever
You'll look for me and I'll be gone
