Forever Lovers lyrics

Forever lovers, forever friends

A lifetime's a short time

When love never ends

They checked into a small hotel

She blushed when he asked

For the bridal suite

Was the beginning of their lives together

Anxiously they'd waited for the moment

That their love would be complete

She reached inside

Her brand new traveling bag

And found her brand new negligee

And then she shyly slipped it on

And suddenly, he realized

The beauty of the tender prize

He'd waited for so long and finally won

She climbed into the bed

He snapped his fingers

Said, I've got to get champagne

There's a little store right down the block

I'll only be a minute, close your eyes

And, hon, I'll be right back again

And time goes by so slowly

She's not sure how much has passed

When she hears the siren

Screaming through the night

And seven hours later, they find her

Rocking on the bed

Just singing in the early morning light

Forever lovers, forever friends

A lifetime's a short time

When love never ends

She checks into the old hotel

And pays a little extra for the suite

She slips into the faded negligee

And brushes down her hair of gray

And lays her body down to wait

And the night air through the curtains

Makes a sound like someone breathing

And she reaches for him with her fingertips

And they find her in the morning

With tear stains on her pillow

And a smile like a kiss upon her lips

Forever lovers, forever friends

A lifetime's a short time

I knew I'd see you again

Forever lovers, forever friends

A lifetime's a short time

When love never ends
