Jim Lauderdale - Some Things Are Too Good To Last (with Emmylou Harris) Lyrics

Lovers leave and don't come back passion waits to live again
Shooting stars fall with the rest some things are too good to last

Flowers by another name live again in memory
Burning hearts that run too fast you were just too good to last

I can keep for sure what we had out of this world

When your tears would warm my smile I knew heaven for awhile
The better part of a short past we were just too good to last
[ guitar ]
I can keep for sure what we had out of this world

Lovers leave and don't come back passions wait to live again
Rainbows fade out with the rest we were just to good to last
Burning hearts that run too fast some things are too good to last
