Forever Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
