Some Things Last a Long Time

[Verse 1] Your picture Is still on my wall On my wall The colours Are bright Bright as ever [Pre-Chorus] The red is strong The blue is pure [Chorus] Some things last a long time Some things last a long time [Verse 2] Your picture Is still on my wall On my wall On my wall I think About you Often Often [Pre - Chorus] I won't forget All the things we did [Chorus] Some things last a long time Some things last a long time [Verse 3] It's funny But it's true And it's true But funny Time comes and goes [Pre - Chorus] And although I I still think of you [Chorus] Some things last a long time Some things last a long time [Verse 4] Your picture Is still on my wall On my wall On my wall The colours Are bright Bright, as ever [Pre - Chorus] I think we did I can't forget [Outro] Some things last a lifetime Some things last a lifetime Some things last a lifetime
