Forever

I recall in sixth grade when it rained all day I went over to her house to play She knew how to kiss, her mom was away So she taught me -- it was heaven ooo ooo ooo She said, let’s do this forever I remember the night after I got laid off I didn’t know how we’d make ends meet I couldn’t sleep, ugly thoughts in my dreams She woke up and held me ooo oo oo She said, let’s do this forever The earth turns around every 24 hours Lets stay here until the turnings all done This world’s in a race we’ve already won We’ve found our own piece of heaven, let’s just do this forever Oh, let’s just stay here forever What else could we do that’s better Wrapped in your arms, I feel free Nothing’s no, nothing’s not, nothing’s never Time seems to stop when you’re here with me Let’s just stay here forever Of course, Time moved on. It waits for no one And it didn’t stop for her and me But sometimes I stop – often these days -- and hold her memory ooo oo oo I’m gonna hold it forever The earth turns around every 24 hours I’ll stand right here ‘til the turnings all done This world’s in a race that cannot be won We had a small slice of heaven I’m gonna hold it forever
