You don't live forever

I had a lover
prettiest thing I ever seen
Just like all good things
There was a day she went away
Had the best mother that a man could have
And my family understands
When I see Daddy, my Daddy
I say to myself
He's a hell of a man
So I'm sittin' here
Thinkin' about
How we used to be together
And it's a lonesome road
Even I
Tell you that you don't live forever
No you don't live forever
Listen to me baby
What I'm tryin' to say
I can't understand it
When you treat me this way
