Lyrics
63
I once loved a pretty young girl
Next year she'll be sixty three
She said to me you will always be
My oyster and I your pearl
Another love when in my youth
So old now she can't be
She confessed to me I'm your honesty
You will always be my truth
So does this prove that in the past
Love can be strong but may not last
One day what takes your breath away
Is lost but found another day
Another love that was so true
Has lost sight of reality
We would agree she was the key
Of the gate we must pass through
But of all the loves within my mind
You will always stay the same
Your memory rests where I can play
Each new romance as I find
So does this prove that in the past
Love can be strong but may not last
One day what takes your breath away
Is lost but found another day
