Come live with me and be my love, if only for a day. Come live with me and see my love, how fast it fades away.
Love is a flower that lives for an hour then withers and dies. Where is the prize? Forgive me, if I deride love, but, darling, I tried love. And so I say
Come live with me for just a while. Who cares if love is lost, if love is brief as a song?
Darling, I never would want you forever to stay. But, darling, if you could love me, Come live with me just for today.
