Lyrics

There's Never a Forever Thing

[Verse 1]

Dearest

Close your eyes now

Don't you cry

It's all right

Lie back

Leave the light on

It's all right, dear

I'll be here through the night

With you till the first signs of light

Say the word and I'll come tonight

[Verse 2]

It's all right now

Don't you cry now

Hush

Wipe your tears away

There's never a forever thing

All through the night

I'll try so hard to be there somehow

With you 'till the first signs of light

Say the word and I'll come tonight

[Outro]

Darling, don't you cry
