Letter to a love that should've lasted long

Like a kiss on the forehead In a room full of portraits Like a gentle hand sliding down your face You would wait on the corner On a cold Monday morning This is all I can recall From a love that should've lasted long Our love should've lasted long I don't listen to the Beatles And I get the pins and needles When I see you strolling down the street With your big brown eyes a-flashin Watching all those people rushing Off to something new to repay For a love who came far too late Our love came far too late But love don't wait up Love don't wait for me For me Please be gentle, please be subtle I'm just writing from the bottom All I'm whining is for no more Than a love that should've lasted long Now it's time to sleep sweet Alice In the city's drunken alleys I know Wonderland is not too far And love shouldn't be so hard Our love shouldn't be so hard Our love should've lasted long Our love should've lasted long
