Song Lyrics

We're gathered in this room today to say our last goodbyes
Friends and kinfolk stayed away, it's down to you and I
It's just a simple service and much too late to say
Those tender words unspoken yesterday

But don't our love look natural lying there
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
It faded in its prime and died before its time
Now don't our love look natural lying there

I know the day our love was born, well, I don't know when it died
I think we could have saved it but it seems nobody tried
A love like time can slip away and vanish with the dawn
And you can't bring it back, no, when it's gone

And don't our love look natural lying there
You could almost expect it to get right up and care
It faded in its prime and died before its time
Now don't our love look natural lying there
Yes, and don't our love look natural lying there

Cook, Howard
