Yet, the pessimist in me can’t help but ask,
Just how long is it that we will last?
I say, “I love you” now, but is it sincere?
Will I still be saying it, this time next year?

Love’s a comet that comes once in twenty years.
Love’s a comet; enjoy it while it’s here.
It’s like a comet, a comet,
It’s like a comet when you’re in love.

Once a comet has passed, it shoots out of your mind,
But the trail it creates is always left behind.
You’ve colored my skies, made a rich man from a poor;
You’ve done all this for me, I couldn’t want more.

You flare up the night and bring bliss to the day.
We have one second, what’s “forever”, anyways?
It’s like a comet, a comet,
It’s like a comet when you’re in love.

It’s quality, not quantity I’m looking for.
Not hard to see for you and me what’s in store.
Treasure every single second I’m allowed.
We don’t need “forever”; we’ve got “now”.

Soon, perhaps, this comet shall fall,
But an ending is better than nothing, at all.
No matter the odds, it’s a risk that I’ll take,
The joy you have shown me is anything but fake.

Not hunting for a future, not looking toward the skies,
Just loving every single time I gaze in your eyes.
It’s like a comet, a comet,
It’s like a comet when you’re in love.
It’s like a comet, a comet,
It’s like a comet, and I’m in love.
