Forever

Sam Cooke · Classic Album & Singles Collection [2009]

If I could see your tender smile

And hold you close just a little while

I'd want this love to last forever



And if one day your trembling hand

Would touch my lips, I'll understand

And want this love to last forever



Why, why, why won't you tell me

Tell me the way you feel

Why, why, why, why, why

Why, why won't you hold me

And tell me that this love is real



If I look in your eyes and see

That you have shared a tear for me

I'd want this love to last forever



But then, maybe I'll get tired

Of trying to make you love me too

And then you'll want

This love to last forever



Why, why, why won't you tell me

Tell me the way you feel

Why, why, why, why, why

Why won't you hold me

And tell me if this love is real



If I look in your eyes and see

That you have shared a tear for me

I'd want this love to last forever



But then, maybe I'll get tired

Of trying to make you love me too

And then you'll want this

Love to last forever
