Lyrics Forever - Sam Cooke , The Soul Stirrers

If I could see your tender smile
And hold you close just a little while
I'd want this love to last forever
And if one day your trembling hands
Will touch my lips, I'll understand
And want this love to last forever
Why, why, why won't you tell me
Tell me the way you feel
Why, why, why
Why won't you hold me
And tell me that this love is real
If I look in your eyes and see
That you shared a tear for me
I'd want this love to last forever
But then, maybe I'll get tired of trying
To make you love me too
And then you'll want this love to last forever
Why, why, why won't you tell me
Tell me the way you feel
Why, why, why
Why won't you hold me
And tell me that this love is real
If I look in your eyes and see
That you shared a tear for me
I'd want this love to last forever
But then, maybe I'll get tired of trying
To make you love me too
And then you'll want this love to last forever
