Analysis of Nothing Lasts Forever
I place upon your grave
A rose, so very red
And though it's been a year
I can't believe you're dead
The times we had shall fade
As darkness turns to light
I'm wishing you were here
To make my world alright
Nothing lasts forever
And now I see that's clear
I never got a chance to say
"I'll always love you, dear."
As tears roll down my face
I turn and walk away
Knowing that eventually
We'll meet again one day
