I've got a beautiful thing going on
With a beautiful woman
She's going to love me 'til tomorrow, then
Well, she's only human
Love like this can't last
I got me half way to Phoenix
For the 17th time
I'm on my 59th rewrite
of Leaving on your Mind
I've got a pocket full of Kleenex
I've got no need of crying
I've got absolute faith
It's just a matter of time
Love like this can't last
Jesus said to Mary
I can't stand it anymore
We both know you must betray me
Why can't we just get it over with?
She threw herself before him, she said
We will never part
And it's going to take a miracle
To break my heart
Love like this can't last
I've got a beautiful thing going on
With a beautiful woman
She's going to love me 'til tomorrow, then
Well, she's only human
Love like this can't last
