Lyrics Dan Fogelberg

Dan Fogelberg

Hearts in Decline

Nothing lasts forever, I know that this is true

But I never knew how true it was 'til I was losing you

Oh maybe I'm a dreamer or maybe I'm a fool

But I never thought that love could be this careless or this cruel

You wrestle with the reasons but the reasons never rhyme

Or comfort when the heart is in decline

And it doesn't really matter if it's chance or it's design

It's gonna to take some time

Now love don't play no favorites

You know there's no one that's immune

'Cause she changes her demeanor like the phases of the moon

Oh there ain't no easy answers, you know there's only shades of gray

But when it's love or it's survival I guess you gotta get away

The days stretch on forever and the nights are so unkind

And endless when the heart is in decline

And it doesn't really matter if it's chance or it's design

It's gonna to take some time

Ya know it's gonna to take some time

(It's gonna take some time)
