I been thinkin bout people
who watched thier happiness grow
and through good times and bad times
they let thier loyalty show

but these days I see them fading
oh I just can't figure out why
there's so many sad people
willing to toss good love aside


Chorus:
Oh how can love last forever
if lovers keep drifting apart
if there's no tommorrow after together
where does forever start

Oh I see heart hungry lovers
searchin for a love that's true
but lawyers keep on teaching
how the I comes before you.

Chorus:
Oh how can love last forever
if lovers keep drifting apart
if there's no tommorrow after together
where does forever start

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

oh, I can hear a blues tune in this one.
Indeed, where does forever begin and end?

Reminds me of a day many years ago when I went to court and told the judge that I didn't want a divorce.  The judge straightened me out...she said if one person doesn't want the marriage the marriage no longer exists...James

Stunning and filled with truth...I guess true love can only grow when the I's figure out they are now a We and work to keep it forever....It is amazing how we think true love needs so little effort when the truth is all love needs work to keep it fresh and growing...Hugs to you, my friend.

Forever starts with the hint of a smile and breath of a kiss.  It grows through the years with compassion and trust.  It's sealed with love and respect.  Some people never get beyond the first stage and realize it's a commitment.

Ethome, I love this love song.
It is beautiful. There can be
forever if both people want it
bad enough.  
Hugs,
Ethel

"if there's no tommorrow after together
where does forever start"

Very impactful and so profound. Enjoyed this, I love to hear the melody as I can almost sense it.
