You and I had everything calculated and planned We were just following fate and its every command Two souls were going to find forever in an unexpected land And neither of us would dare to defy destiny’s demand
We were supposed to last a lifetime together no matter what That was this man and his lady’s predetermined plot No one could rattle our teacups or shake up the place Not as long as two lovers had the other’s embrace
I recall adding and subtracting and then reaching a perfect sum We were sitting on a settee having biscuits and sharing one glass of rum We shared everything including time, smiles and each other’s past But simply because a person says “forever” doesn’t mean it will last
