Lyrics

You may think that I’m talkin’ foolishYou’ve heard that I’m wild and I’m freeYou may wonder how I can promise you nowThis love that I feel for you always will be
But you’re not just time that I’m killin’I’m no longer one of those guysAs sure as I live, this love that I giveIs gonna be yours until the day that I die
Oh, baby, I’m gonna love you foreverForever and ever amenAs long as old men sit and talk about the weatherAs long as old women sit and talk about old menIf you wonder how long I’ll be faithfulI’ll be happy to tell you againI’m gonna love you forever and everForever and ever, amen
They say time takes its toll on a bodyMakes the young girls brown hair turn grayBut honey, I don’t care, I ain’t in love with your hairAnd if it all fell out, well, I’d love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memoryMake people forget things they knewWell, it’s easy to see, it’s happenin’ to meI’ve already forgotten every woman but you
Oh, darlin’, I’m gonna love you foreverForever and ever amenAs long as old men sit and talk about the weatherAs long as old women sit and talk about old menIf you wonder how long I’ll be faithfulWell, just listen to how this song endsI’m gonna love you forever and everForever and ever, amen
I’m gonna love you forever and everForever and ever, forever and eve
