Forever

Picked my face off the floor one morning.
Poked my head on out the door, oh Lord, it was pouring.
Went back to bed to rest my head.
Didn't pay attention to what was said.
Said just let me be, just ignore me.

If you look at her she will be smiling.
She's trying to hide the fact that she's been crying.
An old friend up and went away.
He didn't have too much to say.
If you ask her how she's doing, she'll say she's "trying."

Forever is a long long time
To carry this poor heart of mine.
Tomorrow's here and then it's gone.
We've got to just keep going on.

I hear a sad sad song somebody's singing.
A lonesome locked up pain she's just now revealing.
Life if full of sad sad songs.
From people's hearts that steered them wrong.
Maybe it's relief that they're seeking.

Forever is a long long way
To carry a heart that can't be saved.
I'd give her peace, I'd give her time.
I'd give her this whole life of mine.

When I'm all alone I don't feel lonely.
I disregard what everyone has told me.
I have to have it my own way.
Don't want personal interplay.
I am the King, I am the one and only.

Forever is a long long time
To carry this poor heart of mine.
Tomorrow's here and then it's gone.
We've got to just keep going on.
Forever is a long long way
To carry a heart that can't be saved.
I'd give her peace, I'd give her time.
I'd give her this whole life of mine.
