How Long Is Forever

(Willie Nelson)



I fell too hard and much too deep in love with you

I let you come and go at will it seems

You're back again this time you say forever

But I wonder just how long forever means.



How long is forever this time?

How long until one night you don't come home again?

How long is forever this time?

How long until I'm all alone again?



--- Instrumental ---



People say I'm foolish when I take you back

And it could be they're right but who can say

You'll be welcome here within my arms forever

Even when forever ends for me today.



How long is forever this time

How long until one night you don't come home again?

How long is forever this time?

How long until I'm all alone again?...
