Forever Long


I wish I could say all the things that I feel

For you in just one song

But if I did, I’m afraid it would be

A song that’s forever long

 

Forever long, forever long- a song that’s forever long

There aren’t enough words in the world to write

A song that’s forever long

 

And if I could paint a portrait of you

I wouldn’t know what I would do

‘Cause there’s not enough sky in the heavens above

To match your eyes so heavenly blue

 

Heavenly blue, heavenly blue- your eyes are so heavenly blue

I wish God had made more sky than He did

So I could paint your eyes so heavenly blue

 

I’d like to buy a present for you

That could show the love for you that I hold

But I couldn’t find a treasure so fine

As the softness of your hair of gold

 

Your hair of gold, your hair of gold- how I love to touch your hair of gold!

How lucky they are- the flowers that twine

Through the garden of your hair of gold

 

Oh, look at me now- when it comes to you

How I do go on and on

I’ve got to end this now, before it becomes

A song that’s forever long

 

Forever long, forever long- a song that’s forever long

It’s easy to sing for someone so sweet

A song that’s forever long.

Notes: In the year 2000, I bought my first computer for the main intent of using it to record professionally sounding music. Much to my chagrin, I had so many problems with that computer and setting it up for recording that I never actually finished a recording for 2 years. This is that recording. Little did I know that the computer experience would eventually launch my career in IT.
