Irish Selection 1991:
Flo McSweeney - "Why Can't Forever Last?"

Why Can't Forever Last?

Reaching out across this pillow where you took me
All I feel is this emptiness deep inside of me
You said you'd love me forever
That you'd never been this close

Why can't forever last a little longer
(Just a little bit) I wish I knew
Why can't forever last a little longer
(Just a little bit) I still have you

Missed your touch, missed you, night fades when I'm with you
No one else can unlock my heart, 'cause you stole the key
All that I had with you
Slipped right through my figure

Why can't forever last a little longer
(Just a little bit) I wish I knew
Why can't forever last a little longer
(Just a little bit) I still have you

Where did it all go wrong?
Running with you in some high dust
All those walls that he takes
We thought time would never find us

Why can't forever last a little longer
(Just a little bit) I wish I knew

(Why can't forever)
Just a little bit, just a little bit longer
(Why can't forever last)
Just a little bit, just a little bit longer

Why can't forever last a little longer
I ѕtill hаve you
