For Forever

By: Rose Marie

Hold me now forever

For forever is so long

Kiss me till I'm breathless

Give me strength to carry on

I'm lying here contented,

Wrapped tightly in your arms

Promises of forever

Together all night long

Hold me now forever

For forever is so long

Loving you is so peaceful

Even though I'm told its wrong

I'm waking up so languid

Alive and content

Happy to have slept beside you

But this morning you are gone.

Hold me now forever

For forever is so long

Love me till I'm useless

Then leave me once you're done

I've spent so many years crying

Believing that you are here

But dreams don't last forever

And never will you come back

Hold me now forever

For forever feels so long

Pretending that I'm not real

Getting lost up in the throng

It's been so very long,

I know that I've been gone

Death is all around me

But you are nowhere near

Hold me now forever

For forever is so long

This man that I have met

Will help in my struggles

He holds me in his arms

Tells me that I am dying

Promises of more

Of Life lived all again

Hold me now forever

For forever is so long

My eyes are slowly closing

And he is drawing near

I thought you'd always love me

I thought that you'd be there

But forever isn't always

For forever is finally here

Hold me now forever

For my forever has finally come

You won't live threw it

Not once that I am done.

Experiencing my own death

I thought that I could not stand it

Bravely holding on

Fighting my way through it

Hold me now forever

For forever is all I've got

Hiding in the shadows

Watching life pass me by

I see you in your home

Holding your wife tightly

The kids are gathered close

Pretending you are happy

Hold me now forever

For forever is so long

I will watch you closely

Now the men are coming round

These evil men they hurt you

Demand all sorts of things

They say life is not worth living

Then they send you to the ground

Hold me now forever

For your forever is almost gone

The men are dead beside me

And you are in my arms

I hold you so very tightly

Keeping my own tears at bay

I can sense it nearing

Death is but a step away

Hold me now forever

For your forever has finally come

I take you quickly

Sealing what is already done

Now we are with each other

Just as we were of old

You are wrapped around me

Together for forever

Hold me now forever

For forever is all we have got

So kiss me till I'm breathless

And love me till we drop
