Brief And Beautiful

Nikki Kerkhof


Only had a little taste 
but I remember how it felt 
and all the phone calls late at night 
though we tried, we couldn`t make it right 

When the seasons changed 
everything got colder 
everyone could hear, our illusion crush 
it was all we had 

[chorus] 
so every minute that I've spend with you 
like the winter, is bringing the blues 
you and I were like the spring 
brief and beautiful 

when we knew we had to let it go 
and our love turned in to snow 
we never had a chance to begin 
brief and beautiful 
so...
brief and beautiful 
so...

[verse] 
when flowers bloom in may 
I go back to yesterday 
when I woke up next to you 
I would bring it all back if I could 

make it good or bad 
I know it is too late 
so I'm moving on 
but I won`t forget 
all that is unsaid 

[chorus] 

it was so short
it was so sweet 
like every good thing
it`s not yours to keep
everything fades away 
and now it's gone 

[chorus 2x]
