[Verse One]
Good girl falls for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks
She thinks this will be different from all the boys in her past
Young couple writes a note to the write their parents. Young couple never looks back
Young couple thinks, as we all should, that love was made to last
[Chorus]
The brightest colors eventually fade
There's a sunset for every memorable day
Only so many grains in an hourgla**
But love was made to last
[Verse Two]
Young couple with a baby on the way. Hard-working man has a twelve-hour day
A lot of thought of them and a little pay.He wants to move but she wants to stay
He comes home and tries to relax. He says some words and she says them back
She thinks, "I don't know why we clash."
She weathers the storm 'cause love was made to last
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Old man says, "I broke a promise or two. . ."
His wife says, "For fifty-one it's been me and you
What can you do except smile and laugh? And thank God our love was made to last."
[Chorus]
