Forever Lyrics

always wait for you
never know
what i say
will make a difference in you
untill its done

always say to you
a life to lead
a life to live
im tired again
listening for you
listening for you

the same room by myself
alone again
i say to you
through the same roof
again

and then wait
for silence to cry
for the silence to cry

its only you
who make my dreams
come true

only you
could make my dreams
come
true

only you
can make
it all
come
true

only you
only you
only you

sing along
sing again
sing along
oh yeah

dont take it away from me
dont take this away from me
dont take this away from me
dont take this away from me

and i will fight for you the same way i always did
i will fight for you the same way i always did

i will always fall
theres nowhere else to go
never

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

here is another version of forever. this one was from the june 6th 1982 paris show.

Pulling this watch as faces go Pulling in a word and done it slow This other time I see your face is silent Oh, we go away and What have you done Takes a feeling inside us all Continue out with just One push in my mouth But you're so close now And you're so close now All I have to do is three short blows All that still is best inside Fool when they walk And you don't even know All I have to do is kill her... And the other faces here with me The others dressed in summers thing If only one way is to be beautiful If only one way is to the other song And every time it's you, It's like the blood on the stairs Is sent away And every time we see It's all set before you If only the ways to kill you You used to say This fear of drowning Fear no death by water Father walks in at the foot of the bed Six of you want to see you safe Just one time you'll meet this man All you've got to do is kill her And all you've got to do is kill her Trickle the sands against And pull the animals Just out of the womb Seeing the cow dead before he was born It's the man, he loved The solid pieces fell on the ground He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life He couldn't kill another life It's all been painted with love It could have been some friends Pulling strings to meet you All I want to do is reach it She says 'Let go my shoulder!' See the sky! And the sky goes black And the sky goes black I just want to feel her I just want to feel her I just want you to feel it I just want you to feel it Everytime I looked up the stairs I used to see her die She would move so slow Anyone could've been But she was a cat Anyone could've been She was a cat Pulling away as I used to fight That's just playing so low That ugly or pretty The face stays the same Her face stays the same Her face stays the same The ugly or pretty face Stays the same, stays the same, Stays the same And looking on the final walls And looking on the final walls Did you now find this malice out? The angels fall Let's make some more noise... Would you fall in They used to say Help me be your mother For just one day Let's fall in churches far outside They used to love They used to love...

here is another version of forever. this one was from the june 6th 1982 paris show.

Pulling this watch as faces go
Pulling in a word and done it slow
This other time
I see your face is silent
Oh, we go away and
What have you done
Takes a feeling inside us all
Continue out with just
One push in my mouth
But you're so close now
And you're so close now
All I have to do is three short blows
All that still is best inside
Fool when they walk
And you don't even know
All I have to do is kill her...
And the other faces here with me
The others dressed in summers thing
If only one way is to be beautiful
If only one way is to the other song
And every time it's you,
It's like the blood on the stairs
Is sent away
And every time we see
It's all set before you
If only the ways to kill you
You used to say
This fear of drowning
Fear no death by water
Father walks in at the foot of the bed
Six of you want to see you safe
Just one time you'll meet this man
All you've got to do is kill her
And all you've got to do is kill her
Trickle the sands against
And pull the animals
Just out of the womb
Seeing the cow dead before he was born
It's the man, he loved
The solid pieces fell on the ground
He couldn't kill another life
He couldn't kill another life
He couldn't kill another life
It's all been painted with love
It could have been some friends
Pulling strings to meet you
All I want to do is reach it
She says 'Let go my shoulder!'
See the sky!
And the sky goes black
And the sky goes black
I just want to feel her
I just want to feel her
I just want you to feel it
I just want you to feel it
Everytime I looked up the stairs
I used to see her die
She would move so slow
Anyone could've been
But she was a cat
Anyone could've been
She was a cat
Pulling away as I used to fight
That's just playing so low
That ugly or pretty
The face stays the same
Her face stays the same
Her face stays the same
The ugly or pretty face
Stays the same, stays the same,
Stays the same
And looking on the final walls
And looking on the final walls
Did you now find this malice out?
The angels fall
Let's make some more noise...
Would you fall in
They used to say
Help me be your mother
For just one day
Let's fall in churches far outside
They used to love
They used to love...
