IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED
(Red Lane / Larry Henley)


Dottie West - 1972





Most times it was good
Even bad times weren't so bad
We made do with what we had
Most times we were laughing
Sometimes heartaches sometimes pain
Made our tears fall like rain
It was love while it lasted, yes it was

And I know love when I see it
And I saw it and I felt it
And I know that those were love words that I heard
Take my word
It was love while it lasted, yes it was

Someone let go
And we may never know the truth
Was it me or was it you
Now you've gone
But the last words that you said
Still echo in my head
It was love while it lasted, yes it was

Oh, I know love when I see it
And I saw it, Lord, I felt it
And I know that those were love words that I heard
Take my word
It was love while it lasted, yes it was
