WHY SHOULD LOVE LAST?

WHEN YOU COME HOME AT NIGHT,

AND YOU’RE ALL ALONE IN THE DARK.

THAT IS WHY LOVE SHOULD LAST.

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE TAKING A WALK,

AND YOU’RE WALKING ALONE IN THE PARK.

THAT IS WHY LOVE SHOULD LAST.

WHEN YOU’RE LYING IN BED AT NIGHT,

AND ALL YOU HEAR IS A DOG’S BARK.

THAT IS WHY LOVE SHOULD LAST.

THERE ARE MANY MORE REASONS THAN THIS,

BUT OUBVIOUSLY, NO ONE CAN HEAR ME HARK.

THAT IS WHY LOVE SHOULD LAST.
