&he said, I, love you forever,

Forever and Always.

She's sitting at the table
The hour's getting later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would've called
She waits a little longer
There's no one in the driveway
No ones' said they've seen him
"Why, is something wrong?"

She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says, "Something's happened."
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knee first
And he said...
I, want you foreverForever and alwaysThrough the good and the bad and the uglyWe'll grow old togetherForever and always
She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls
A maze that's never ending

They talk about what happened
But she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face
As she walks into the room

She sits by his bedside
Holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have
And the good life
The house on the hillside
Where they would...
Stay,Stay there foreverForever and alwaysThrough the good and the bad and the uglyWe'll grow old togetherAnd always rememberWhether rich or for poor or for betterWe'll still love each otherForever and always
Then she gets an idea
And calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain
And he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings
From the couple next door
Everybody's laughing
As the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes and says...


I, want you foreverForever and alwaysThrough the good and the bad and the uglyWe'll grow old togetherForever and alwaysAnd always rememberWhether happy or sad or whateverWe'll still love each otherForever and alwaysForever and alwaysForever and always
She finishes the vows but
The beeps are getting too slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says...
I'll love you foreverForever and alwaysPlease just rememberEven if I'm not thereI'll always love youForever and always
