Words and music by Robbie Smith
Love comes and love goes
In time it’ll come again
Love ebbs and love flows
So take what the good lord sends
Warm nights are long gone
And it feels like another storm
But I’ll last until the dawn
If mem’ries can keep me warm
Cause, good times never last too long
You’ve got to catch them fast when they come along
And when they pass put them in a song
To sing to yourself when they’re gone, gone, gone
Love tries but love fails
It’s a common tale but true
It brightens up but then it pales
And it fades like the morning dew
The wind’s cold and the road’s so steep
But at least I have my pride
No need to laugh or weep
I’ll just get to the other side
Cause, good times never last too long
You’ve got to catch them fast when they come along
And when they pass keep them in a song
To sing to yourself when they’re gone, gone, gone
Love’s kind but love’s cruel
No matter how we try
It starts warm but turns cool
As the years go rushing by
Yes, love comes and love goes
In time it’ll come again
Love ebbs and love flows
I’ll just bide my time ‘till then
Yes, love comes and love goes
So take what the good lord sends
