You say that you love me
more than life itself
and we'll be together
come heaven or in hell.
But you come home late
pantyhose in your pocket
my waiting eyes open
you don't know I'm watchin.

chorus 1
where"s that forever lover
the angel of my dreams
I been lyin here awake
wishin you were next to me.
I got yesterdays and better days
roaming through my mind
while you're somewhere layin bare
what you promised me was mine

You tell morning stories
sober over coffee
about your workin late
on a special project
Well you're just foolin you
cause you ain't foolin me
I'm tellin you I saw you
hide things I shouldn't see.

Chorus 2
Where's that forever lover
the angel of my dreams
now I'm seein through you
and I don't like what I see
I got yesterdays and better days
roaming through my mind
but you been somewhere layin bare
what you promised me was mine

Bridge:
What happened to the times we spent
makin love by the fire
what happened to the nights we spent
filled with sweet desire.
What happened to the goals we knew
in the future we could see.
what happened to that other you
and the love you promised me.

Chorus 2 rep
Where's that forever lover
the angel of my dreams
now I'm seein through you
and I don't like what I see
I got yesterdays and better days
roaming through my mind
but you been somewhere layin bare
what you promised me was mine

Amazing! Did you put music to it? Are you going to try and publish it? It's a truly beautiful song!

Eric, this is a really good song. It had many emotions in it.
Do you have music to it? I'll bet it sounds really
good with music.
