You Are Forever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Even mountains will crumble
Rivers will dry, stars will fall
And kings will be humbled
The weakest of men will be standing tall

[Pre-Chorus]
Time changes, rearranges
Mountains and kings, everything
But

[Chorus]
You are forever
Baby, you are my night and day
You are forever
Darling I cannot remember when
I didn't, ooooh
Love you

[Verse 2]
Yesterday is a memory
Tomorrow will come and fade away
But my love is eternal
I promise you it will always stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Time changes, rearranges
Things come and go
But one thing I know is
[Chorus]
You are forever
Baby, you are my now and then
You are forever
And darling I cannot remember when
I didn't want you, need you, love you
Yeahess, love you, ah love you, love you, love you

[Pre-Chorus]
Time changes, rearranges
Mountains and kings, everything

[Chorus]
But you are forever
Baby, you are my now and then
You are my forever
I cannot remember when
I didn't love you

You're forever and ever
Baby, baby, ever ever, and ever
I, I cannot remember when
I didn't love you
Oh, love you, oh, love you love you
Can't remember when I didn't love you
Love you, love you, love you, hey yeah
Love you, oh, love you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
