When we were young and green, we shared our dreams together   And you were my friend, we had our good times pal   We thought they'd last forever but nothing lasts forever   Nothing lasts forever      Time goes by and people change, it's best we go our separate ways   And it was wrong to think our love would never end   My friend, nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever      Time goes by it takes us all, nations crumble and empires fall   And who are we to think that we would always be   You see nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever      I know that you'll survive and you'll get by whatever   Though you say goodbye, my love will never die   It will last forever      Your love will die but mine will last forever   Your love will fade but mine will last forever   Your feeling might go but mine will last forever   And though you're gone, you're in my mind forever
