Forever's Here to Stay

(Buddy Cannon - Larry Bastian)



She stepped out of the Taxi, with a suitcase in her hand

And a hand bag too full for her to hold

I felt her body tremble as I took her in my arms

And she whispered, don't ever let me go.



Chorus:

Then I watched her hang her dresses up and close the closet door

And I watched her put her satin things away

Somehow now I know she won't be leaving anymore

I do believe forever's here to stay.



--- Instrumental ---



It's good to hear her foot steps just walking down the hall

Lord, I wondered would I hear those sounds again

We're picking up the pieces and putting away the past

We've got a lot of broken dreams to mend.



Chorus:

I watched her hang her dresses up and close the closet door

And I watched her put her satin things away

Somehow now I know she won't be leaving anymore

I do believe forever's here to stay.



I do believe forever's here to stay...
