You're Too Lovely To Last

Teddy mcrae / c. beal / e. fraser

Just when you are near

When i hold you fast

Then my dreams will whisper

You're too lovely to last.

Lips are saying "love"

All worries have passed

And then i get that feeling

You're too lovely to last.

Will i ever know a real love?

So i can forget you

Will i always have to still love?

What am i to do?

Soon the night is gone

Dreams are fading fast

Then i wake up knowing

You're too lovely to last.

Will i ever know a real love?

So i can forget you

Will i always have to still love?

What am i to do?

Soon the night is gone

Dreams are fading fast

Then i wake up knowing

You're too lovely to last

Baby you're too lovely

You're much too lovely to last
