forever's here to stay

she stepped out of the taxi

with a suitcase in her hand

and a hand bag too full for her to hold

i felt her body tremble as i took her in my arms

and she whispered

don't ever let me go

the i watched her hang her

dresses up and close the closet door

and i watched her put

her satin things away

somehow now i know she won't

be leaving anymore

i do believe forever's here to stay

it's good to hear her foot steps just walking down the hall

lord

i wondered would i hear those sounds again

we're picking up the pieces

and putting away the past

we've got a lot of broken dreams to mend

i watched her hang her

dresses up and close the closet door

and i watched her put

her satin things away

somehow now i know she won't

be leaving anymore

i do believe forever's here to stay

i do believe forever's here to stay.
