People say forever like it’s no big deal   Promise that they’ll never when they probably will.      Act as though they’ve got some kind of crystal ball or key   To let them see exactly what the future’s gonna be.      The rivers that we thought would always run go dry   Stars burn brightly then they fade away   I don’t know how long this love will be strong   But it’s more than one more day.      Kings and ancient empires we thought would always stand   Crumble into nothing under wind and sand.   Who can say how long they’re gonna feel the way they feel   All I know is right here by your side I know it’s real.      Rivers that we thought would always run go dry.   Stars burn brightly, then they fade away.   I don’t know how long   This love will be strong   But it’s more than one more day.      Time’s just a second hand that ticks away   What is forever but a string of one more day      I don’t know how long   Our love will be strong   But it’s more than one more day.      I know it’s more than one more day.
