AFTER A WHILE

Our romance was far too beautiful to last, my dear,
But now that it is past, my dear,
I won't cry;
Maybe you'll change your mind
As time goes by.


After a while,
When you're weary of lips that are fancy free,
Maybe you'll long for me,
After a while.


After a while,
When you're lonely and nobody else will do,
Maybe I'll hear from you,
After a while.


Why go chasing rainbows?
Stop reaching for a star!
Sometimes your dreams will find you,
Just look behind you
And there they are!


I'll try to smile
And pretend that we never have to part;
Maybe I'll fool my heart
After a while.


Why go chasing rainbows?
Stop reaching for a star!
Sometimes your dreams will find you,
Just look behind you
And there they are!


I'll try to smile
And pretend that we never have to part;
Maybe I'll fool my heart
After a while.
