Lyrics

Scene: Flash is on the run and he goes to Belle for help
He sings this song with Belle
Flash: When we were young and green
We shared our dreams together
And you were my friend
Belle: We had our good times pal
We thought they'd last forever
But nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Time goes by and people change
It's best we go our separate ways
And it was wrong to think our love would never end
My friend
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Time goes by it takes us all
Nations crumble and empires fall
And who are we
To think that we would always be
You see nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Flash: I know that you'll survive
And you'll get by whatever
Though you say goodbye
My love will never die
It will last forever
Your love will die but mine will last forever
Your love will fade but mine will last forever
Your feeling might go but mine will last forever
And though you're gone, you're in my mind forever
