Nothing Can Stay lyrics

It's getting dark again kinda like it was before And I'm lost again somewhere out here on the road Where's the gold that I saw glitter and change my night to day Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay I've felt the sun and I know the rain And I should know that people like the seasons will change But don't tell me that everything in life will be that way Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay I guess darkness has to come whenever the sun goes down And death must follow birth and the cycle of life goes round But what of all this love I've found is it wrong to try To hold on to it with all I've got and want to know why Why can't something be for real and not change with time And why can't the heart feel the same was as the mind I didn't know it long enough don't let it go away Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay Oh don't let love and happiness turn out that way Don't tell me nothing is forever and nothing can stay
