In a murmured lullaby
Is the memory of the first time
In the stillness of a teardrop

And nothing is forever

But it really doesn't matter
If you say we'll be together
If you promise you'll be with me in the end
Promise you'll be with me in the end
I know, I know
My world has grown old
And nothing is forever
And nothing is forever
And I know, I know
My world has grown old
But it really doesn't matter
If you say we’ll be together
If you promise you’ll be with me in the end
Promise you'll be with me in the end
Slide down close beside me
In the silence of a heartbeat
And Nothing Is Forever was written by Robert Smith.
