You promised me forever When I met you You swore to me You'd always be true I must've been mistaken Or you lied I thought forever was a long, long time I thought forever meant You'd never leave So now I'm uh Sitting here alone Happy ever after must be make believe That fairy tale ended long ago I must've been mistaken Or you lied I thought forever was a long, long time I thought forever meant You'd never leave So now I'm uh Sitting here alone Happy ever after must be make believe That fairy tale ended long ago I must've been mistaken Or you lied I thought forever was a long, long time I must've been mistaken Or you lied I thought forever was a long, long time

If today was not a crooked highway If tonight I could finally stand tall If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin' Only if she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again I can't see my reflection in the waters I can't speak the sounds that know no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps I can't remember the sound of my own name Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting Yes, if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin' Only if she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again There's beauty in the silver singin' river There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can mach the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin' Only if she was lying by me Then I'd lie in my bed once again Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin' Yes, and only if she was lying by me And I'd lie in my bed once again

If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes, and only if he was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again I can't see my reflection in the waters I can't speak the sounds that show no pain I can't hear the echo of my footsteps Or remember the sound of my own name Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes, and only if he was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again There's beauty in that silver singing river There's beauty in that sunrise in the sky But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty That I remember in my true love's eyes Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting If I could hear his heart softly pounding Yes, and only if he was lying by me Would I lie in my bed once again

I fell too hard and much too deep in love with you And I let you come and go at will it seems But you're back again this time you say forever But I wonder, just how long forever means How long, is forever this time? How long, until one night, you don't come home again? (How long) How long, is forever this time? (How long) How long, until I'm all alone again? People say, I'm foolish when I take you back And it could be they're right, but who can say? You'll be welcome here within my arms forever Even when forever ends for me today How long, is forever this time? (How long) How long, until one night, you don't come home again? (How long) How long, is forever this time? (How long) How long, until I'm all alone again? (How long) How long How long, is forever this time? (How long) How long, until one night, you don't come home again? (How long) How long, is forever this time? (How long) How long, until I'm all alone again? (How long) How long, until I'm all alone again? (How long)
