Fly like the mayfly
Fly like the mayfly
I've only got a second, and so:
You're beautiful and you need to know
So fly like the mayfly
A lifetime is a long time
When you decide to settle
My time, God it flies by
Since I met her
Fly like the mayfly
Fly like the mayfly
I don't expect to be understood
That never did my heart any good
So fly like the mayfly
A lifetime is a long time
When you decide to settle
My time, God it flies by
Since I met her
We take and take and then we
Wonder that we're not happy
What's missing what can it be?
Nothing means more than a kiss
No nothing means more than this
Not one of these shall I miss
