[Verse 1]
Don't you see, it wasn't meant to be?
Keep on until you die
When lying down, we kick the crying clown
And there's never a thought of how he lifts a frown

[Chorus]
The longer you love, the longer you live
The stronger you feel, the more you can give
It's dying like sand, sand in a sieve
Where is the time to remain?

[Verse 2]
Well, don't forget the day you ever met
Trying, ooh, to believe
It wasn't wasted time, you sipping gin and lime
You had to walk away, it haunts you every day

[Chorus]
The longer you love, the longer you live
The stronger you feel, the more you can give
You're floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love can't sustain

[Chorus]
The longer you love, the longer you live
The stronger you feel, the more you can give
We're dying like sand, sand in a sieve
Where is the time to remain?
[Chorus]
The longer you love, the longer you live
The stronger you feel, the more you can give
You're floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love can't sustain

[Chorus]
The longer you love, the longer you live
The stronger you feel, the more you can give
You're floating away, day in the rain
The lady you love will sustain
