Song Lyrics

I'll never learn, I cling to the past
I find so much there to lean on
But when I get lucky, I can even forget
Our now and forevers are gone

I know what you mean, I go there myself
When I feel the mood comin' on
It comes on so easy, it's hard to believe
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes?
The feelin's too strong to compromise
Somethin' went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late, love you were great, how was I?

I'm doin' my best with somebody else
It's good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from slidin' to where I forget
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes?
The feelin's too strong to compromise
Somethin' went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late, love you were great, how was I?

Tell me now, tell me now, tell me now, oh now
It's too late, love you were great, how was I? How was I?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, love you were great, great
How was I? Love you were great, great, how was I?
