Lyrics

Forever

[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]

Every day it seems we hear the same old story

Every day there's lovers giving up on love

People say it's just a fact of modern living

All around us, people fall in love and marry

Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why?

Did they mean it when they said it was forever?

All I know is what I feel

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]

Forever

Is a long, long time

Longer than we ever realize

Forever

Is a long, long time

I'm gonna love you the rest of my life

Forever

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]

Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky

Every night we touch and speak the words of love

Did I mean it when I said it was forever?

All I know is what I feel

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]

Forever

Is a long, long time

Longer than we ever realize

Forever

Is a long, long time

I'm gonna love you the rest of my life

Forever

[Outro: Robert Lamm]

I'm gonna love you the rest of my life

Forever
