Forever Lovers

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 waited for the moment
They could make their love complete

She reached inside her brand new travelling bag
And found a brand new negligee
And shyly slipped it on

And suddenly he realized
The beauty of his tender prize
He'd waited for so long and finally won

She looked at him and smiled
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 hon and I'll be right back again"
And time goes by so slowly
She's not sure how much has passed
When she hears the sirens
Screaming through the night

And seven hours later
They find her rocking on the bed
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 her faded negligee
And brushes down her hair of grey
And lays her body down to wait

And the night air through the curtains
Makes a sound like someone breathing
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, till I see you again
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, I knew I'd see you again
