It Won't Last For Long Lyrics - Ron Sexsmith

Everything in life is passing through it seems 

And what you're feeling now will fade away 

Like some forgotten dream 

The sun will kiss your eyelids open 

You'll wake to find your heart unbroken 

You may not see it now 

But just hold on 

Because it won't last for long 

Loneliness is moving in as if to stay 

He's made himself at home inside your heart 

There's nothing left to say 

But soon the light will send him packing 

He'll find the conversation lacking 

You'll wake up one fine day 

And he'll be gone 

I know it won't last for long 

Take it from a friend who's been around 

Soon you'll make it to the end I know 

Where new beginnings can be found 

Everything in life is passing through it seems 

And what you're feeling now will fade away 

Like some forgotten dream 

The sun will kiss your eyelids open 

You'll wake to find your heart unbroken 

You may not see it now 

But just hold on 

Because it won't last for long 

Well, I know it won't last for long
