It Was Fun While It Lasted

(Alan Anderson)



I just read the saddest letter

And before I cry I'd better

Let you know that I won't stand in your way

I'm your old love he's your new love

But if you're sure it's true love

I'll bow out gracefully and simply say.



It was fun while it lasted, fun while it lasted

Ours was a special sort of love

It was fun while it lasted, fun while it lasted

But it just didn't last long enough.



--- Instrumental ---



I can't say goodbye with laughter

But I'll promise ever after

When I think of you my lonely lips will smile

I'll be all alone tomorrow

But there won't be any sorrow

Just the happy thought you loved me for awhile.



It was fun while it lasted, fun while it lasted

Ours was a special sort of love

It was fun while it lasted ,fun while it lasted

But it just didn't last long enough...
