It's h ere I had my babies and I h ad my first kiss.
I've w alked down Main Street in the c old morning mist.

But I j ust gotta cry when I t hink what they'd say.
If t hey could see how the s un's settin' fast
And j ust like they say nothing g ood ever lasts.
Well g o on now and k iss it goodbye

But I c an't see too good I got t ears in my eyes.
I'm l eaving tomorrow but I d on't wanna go.

But I can see the sun's s ettin' fast
And j ust like they say nothing g ood ever lasts.
