Don't Lament

(Joe D'Urso)

He called everyone handsome or beautiful
He thought everyone should hear those words
The girls would say "go on, go on"
Then they would melt away

This ain't no game, this is for real
Lately I've realized it's not forever
Very apparently it's not forever
But don't lament, no, no, no don't lament.

Every single day he'd buy flowers
Work a little bit, walk his town for hours and hours
Then he'd find a kind and gentle face
Shyly he handed them over and left them with grace

This ain't no game, this is for real
Oh lately I've realized it's not forever
Very apparently it's not forever but
Don't lament, no, no, no don't lament.

We sit here in this space and time
The air moves through our lungs keeping rhyme
You gotta hold it, grab it, bring it down to your soul
So many choices but only one way to go

This ain't no game, this is for real
Lately I've realized it's not forever
Very apparently it's not forever
But don't lament, no, no, no don't lament
No, no, no don't lament, no, no, no, don't lament
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't lament, no, no...
