Made to last awhile, and roll on

Made to move in style, and move along

Made to dream of flying so high

Made to wake up crying, I don't know why



Beautiful one, sleep in the sun

Secret, sweet, and sublime

I hope you last a long, long time

I hope you last a long, long time



Made to come alone and pair off

Flash like a rolling stone, seventy-one

One-time love affair with the earth

Waiting on the air for some rebirth, for what it's worth



Wherever you are, nearby or far

Black, white, lemon or lime

I hope you last a long, long time

I hope you last a long, long time
