Lyrics
A Lover Is Forever
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think, I understand
The reason you won't stay with me
You think a ring upon your hand
Will solve your insecurity
So go ahead and play your games
If that's what you must do
Nothing here remains the same
But the way I feel for you
I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
