It Was Love While It Lasted

It’s so good to see you again
Let me pull up another chair
Are you still drinkin’ piña coladas?
Hey, I like what you’ve done to your hair
Has it really been that long
Since we called it a day?
You know, there’s no doubt in my heart
That even though the feelin’ slipped away

It was love while it lasted
For awhile that feeling had a hold of us
It was love while it lasted
It just didn’t last long enough

Lookin’ in your eyes right now
I just can’t help but wonder why
We didn’t do all the little things
We should have done to keep our love alive
You’re right, we were just too young
It was nobodies fault
Maybe it’s the romantic in me
But whenever I look back I recall

It was love while it lasted
For awhile that feeling had a hold of us
It was love while it lasted
It just didn’t last long enough
