The Last Generation of Lovers


This post will be the beginning of me sharing lyrics and further explaining the story. Enjoy!

The Last Generation of Lovers

They grew up down the street from each other
Used to chase bugs and dreams
It always pained him to see her with another
When he got the chance he would not leave
He asked for her hand before he left for the war
Promised he’d be back one day
He never broke his word
He came back for her
Their lives began that day

“Darling, don’t you understand
I will love you ‘til the world ends
It’s you and I for the rest of our lives
You are my soul’s sunshine”

Holding hands like the day that they first met
Every kiss was filled with fire
Every tragedy that they faced was met
With determination and desire
They shared every sunrise and sunset
The day wasn’t long enough
And every night they laid together
Couldn’t wait until they woke up

Seemed nothing in the world could break them
No earthquake could shake them
They never felt forsaken
They never knew where life would take them
Until it was too late

No love like this love will be
No love like this love will be
No love like this love will be
No love like this love will be
No love like this love will be again.
