Too Beautiful To Last

Engelbert Humperdinck

Compositor: Paul Francis Webster / Richard Rodney Bennett

The days of autumn splendor
Those moments, warm and tender
Was it too beautiful to last
The love we share together
The dreams we dare together
Was it too beautiful to last

Walking hand in hand
The dawn discloses
We were dreaming of a land
Where love proposes

But castles made of sand
Like winter roses are fated to die
My darlin', like you and I
My darlin'

Where are those sweet Septembers
The joy my heart remembers
Lost in the shadows of the past
The rainbow arched above you
The sacred words: I love you

Why did that dream go by so fast?
Was it too beautiful?
Was it too beautiful to last?
