FOREVER
(P. Stanley/ M. Bolton)


[Rhythm Fig. 1] w/ [Riff 1](at end)
I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside
I could lie to myself, but it's true

[Rhythm Fig. 1] w/ [Riff 1](at end)
There's no denying when I look in your eyes
Girl I'm out of my head over you

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time it's

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
Forever
This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever

[Rhythm Fig. 4] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 4a] (end 1)
Until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you
Forever

[Rhythm Fig. 1] w/ [Riff 2](at beginning) and [Riff 1](at end)
I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own

[Rhythm Fig. 1]
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone

[Rhythm fig. 2]
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time it's

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
Forever
This time I know and there's no doubt in my life
Forever

[Rhythm Fig. 4] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 4a] (end 2)
Until my like is thru, Girl I'll be lovin' you
Forever

[solo] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
I see my future when I look in your eyes
And it took your love to make my heart come alive

[Rhythm Fig. 2] w/ [Riff 3]
Cos I lived so long believin'all lovo is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time it's

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
Forever
This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever

[Rhythm Fig. 4] w/ [Rhythm fig. 4a] (end 1)
Until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you
Forever
it's

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
Forever
This time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever

[Rhythm fig. 4] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 4a] (end 2)
Until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you
Forever

[Rhythm Fig. 5] and fade
