Forever Lyrics
1. The Key
Or please listen here:
There’s a key in the hallway
Hanging on the wall
And it’s saying everything you never said
There’s a door hanging open
On a wardrobe in our room
Staring empty at the space inside our bed
Change
And I guess you left the key
Cos you got no intention of coming back to me
There’s a house that is wondering where you are
There’s a drive without a car
Change
There’s a garden full of flowers you’ll never see
Cos you got no intention of coming back to me
Bridge
And I guess it seems like just another California day
To everybody movin’ up the highways of LA
They’re all thinking that it’s just a way to move from A to B
They don’t realise
They don’t re-a-lise
They don’t know it’s how your moving
To a lifetime – without me
I know I’m not the man you thought I’d be
And I know you didn’t ask too much of me
I could’ve loved you better – I could’ve loved you more
And now it’s far too late for me to see
All along it was me who held the key
I could’ve loved you better – I could’ve loved you more
And now it’s far too late for me to see
All along it was me who held the key
2. One More Day
Or please listen here:
Oh baby you know it’s true
I don’t love no one but you
Oh sweetheart I just can’t make it
One more day
You know the night it feels so long
And the days just feel so wrong
Please come back – I just can’t make it one more day
Bridge
The moon could fall out of the sky
The stars could fall like rain
But the sun won’t ever shine for me
‘til I hold you once again
Oh baby please come back and stay
Say that you’ll be mine
I can’t make it through this time
Any other way
Music
Bridge
Well they sing about those mountains
That could crumble to the sea
And they sing about the rivers running dry
But the world must keep on turning
‘til you come back to me
I can’t live without you – I would rather die
Oh baby you know it’s true
I don’t love no one but you
Oh sweetheart I just can’t make it
One more day
Oh sweetheart I just can’t make it
One more day
3. It Wouldn’t Make me Blue
Or please listen here:
If the clocks and watches all run out of time
If the fireflies should lose their will to shine
If the flowers and trees decide that they won’t grow
If the rain won’t rain and then the snow won’t snow
If the sun goes down and just don’t rise again
If the moon and all the stars fade out and end
If all I know and love should disappear
You know it wouldn’t make me blue
As long as there is you
As long as there is you
As long as there is you
It wouldn’t make me blue
4. All I Can Be
Or please listen here:
I knew the day would come
When you would find someone
And I heard the news today that you are
Holding someone new
Someone that you say the same things to
That you said to me
And now maybe this time they could be true
I should feel glad for you
But I don’t know if I do
I know I should move on
Find a new life
When I think of you with someone who
You do the same things
That you did with me
I hope that he can love you like I do
I know it’s all about forgiveness
I have to find it in my heart
But it’s hard to live with all these feelings
Spinning me around
Tearing me apart
So I guess the time is here
All our friends have made it clear
They said it would be good
If I can find someone who would hold me close
And say the things just like you used to do
It would help me find the peace of mind
I need to forgive you
It would let my heart fly free
And let me be all I can be
All I can be
Let me be all I can be
5. Maybe I’ll Call Ya
Or please listen here:
Chorus
Maybe I’ll call yer – from California
If I’m in New York – maybe we’ll talk again
I tried to tell yer – I tried to warn yer
Now it’s too late – I ‘m in a different state – of mind
Maybe I’ll call yer
Maybe I’ll call
I’m on the greyhound
California bound
I can’t go on pretending this way
Next stop is Denver
Do you remember when
We sketched out the route all the way to LA
Just like our lives
We could go left or right
Or just carry on
Pretending that nothing was wrong
Chorus
Bridge
Back in St Louis – I was feeling the blues
But I just carried on
Cos I knew we were wrong
I don’t think you’ll be reeling from the news
Chorus
Sometimes it’s hard
To know when to quit
But now I can clearly see the way
I know the route
Like the back of my hand
We planned it all the way to LA
And I’m moving forward
No standing still
Maybe I’ll call yer
From the Hollywood Hills
Chorus
6. Some Strangers Eyes
Or please listen here:
Splashed on the Boss – knocked back two whiskeys
Put on my wrinkled blue suit
Just for good measure
I splashed on some more
Took one more swig and walked outa the door
Got in my car and I drove to the city
I’m lovin’ those shiny bright lights
And I’m looking ‘round for something that’s pretty
To get me through this lonely night
But I ain’t gotta clue
Just what I’ll be doing
By the time the sun starts to rise
And I know in my heart I’m just searching for you
But all I ever find
Is I’m looking in some strangers eyes
The morning might come – but I don’t really care
There’s just some stranger’s clothes – lying there on the chair
And I check round the room
To see if it’s mine
Did I make it home
This time
But I recognize that wrinkled blue suit
The old worn out shirt
And the scuffed leather boots
And I can still smell that lingering Boss
As slowly and quietly I rise
Cos I don’t wanna wake her
No I don’t wanna wake her
I don’t wanna wake her
And look in to some stranger’s eyes
Yeah I can still smell it – that stinking stale Boss
And the whiskey that hides in my breath
And she’s lying there as pale as a ghost
And I can’t say I care if she’s dead
As slowly and quietly I rise
Cos I don’t wanna wake her
No I don’t wanna wake her
I don’t wanna wake her
And look in to some stranger’s eyes
7. Paradise in the Palm of Our Hands
Or please listen here:
A change is coming
By the way it’s all going
And Mother Earth she whispers listen to me
A change is coming
By the way it’s all going
And I know if we change we can save you and me
We think we’re tryin’
But everything’s dyin’
And Mother Earth she whispers listen to me
Change
We’ve had two million years
How can we get it so wrong
Our hopes and all of our fears
They’re turnin’ to tears
As it slowly appears
The warnings we had – they weren’t wrong
I know it’s coming
By the way it’s all going
And I know if we change we can save you and me
And Mother Earth she whispers listen to me
Music
Mother Earth she whispers listen to me
I don’t understand
How can we get it so wrong
Paradise in the palm of our hands
This wasn’t God’s plan
From the time it began
The message was there all along
Can you feel it coming
By the way it’s all going
Don’t you know if we change we can save you and me
And Mother Earth she whispers listen to me
And Mother Earth she whispers listen to me
8. Breaking at the Seams
Or please listen here:
It’s lookin’ lonely on the other side
A bleak and empty place
You tried to hide it somewhere deep inside but
I could see it in your face
You’re not just takin’ all your love away
And shattering my dreams
Seems like the whole world knows you’re leaving now
My heart is breaking at the seams
There must be worse things that could happen to me
Right now I can’t think of one
The sadness and the pain is creeping through me
While my whole world comes undone
I tried to make some sense of it
But it’s beyond my means
Cos I gave you every part of me now my heart’s breaking at the seams
It’s so hard lyin’ here while the night goes on and on
But it’s so much harder waking up and knowing that you’re gone
It’s lookin’ lonely on the other side
A bleak and empty place
You tried to hide it somewhere deep inside but
I could see it in your face
You’re not just takin’ all your love away
And shattering my dreams
Seems like the whole world knows you’re leaving now
My heart is breaking at the seams
9. Without You
Or please listen here:
I have seen many places – life has let me see
Until I found the answer – lies inside of me
So please believe me when I tell you this is true
My favourite place is here with you
My favourite place is here with you
My favourite place is here with you
I could search forever – looking for more
More of this and more of that than I possessed before
It took forever – til the truth came shining through
There’s nothing I need more than you
There’s nothing I want more than you
I am nothing without you
It took forever – til the truth came shining through
There’s nothing I need more than you
There’s nothing I want more than you
Oh I am nothing without you
10. Back to You
Or please listen here:
Well the sun comes up and the sun goes down
And the world rolls round it’s true
But my house it’s so lonely and my bed it’s so cold
And I don’t know what to do
So I get up in the morning and I just carry on
‘cos it seems like the thing to do
But every minute, every hour, every moment of the day
Well it all comes back to you
So I grab myself a coffee as I’m starting on the day
And it makes me think of you and me
It was over a cup – that you said you couldn’t stay
And you told me that you needed to be free
But I didn’t want this freedom and I didn’t want this life
If I have to spend it without you
Every minute, every hour, every moment that I live
Well it all comes back to you
Bridge
Every night I lay here dreamin’ that your laying by my side
Every day I’m lost just being without you
I could find someone to hold me and to keep me satisfied
But I don’t think I could find somebody who
Can stop it all just coming back to you
Music
I could find someone to love me like I thought you’d always do
But I don’t think I could find somebody who
Can stop my thoughts from runnin’ back to you
So I’m thinkin’ that I’m sinkin’ in a sea I can’t escape
And I’m wishing you were swimming out to me
But there’s no one who can save me and it might just be too late
This freedom it aint what it’s meant to be
It’s a prison without bars, without windows, without keys
It’s a place that I just keep returning to
And every minute that I live it, every moment that I’m here
Well it all comes back to you
Well it all comes back to you
Yeah it all comes back to you
11. Forever
Or please listen here:
Chorus
Can we stay in love forever
Cos forever I’ll be in love with you
Can we travel the universe together
Can we dance among the stars like lovers do
I wandered half my life not knowing what to do
Never knowing you were waiting there for me
It took me time to take a different point of view
Oh I was blind now I can see
Bridge
Just like a fool I wasted half my life away
Now like a wise man this is all I gotta say
Chorus
Don’t want – don’t want – don’t want etc
Anything but you
I was lost and then you found me
Now you astound me – every day
Storm clouds had gathered all around me
Now when I stumble – you show me the way
Bridge
Just like a fool I wasted half my life away
Now like a wise man this is all I gotta say
Chorus
Chorus
Don’t want etc
Chorus
Can we float among the stars like lovers do
Float among the stars
Can we float among the stars
Like lovers do
12. May God’s Love Be With You
Or please listen here:
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind blow always from behind
May the sun shine softly upon your face
May the rains that fall upon you be so kind
And until we meet again may God hold you
Safely and securely in his hands
May God be with you and bless you the rest of your days
May you see your children fulfill every plan
May you always be poor in misfortune
And richer in the blessings you receive
May you live in happiness all of your life
May the word of God be all that you believe
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun’s rays fill your home
May you never be alone
May misfortune be the only thing you lack
May the grass be green that you walk on
May the skies be always blue above
May the joys surrounding you always be pure always be true
May each day you live be always filled with love
May the hand of a friend be always near you
May the hearts that love you love you true
May gladness fill your days
And may wisdom fill your ways
And may God’s love always be with you
And may God’s love always be with you
And may God’s love always be with you
