Forever Together
Randy Travis · I Told You So - The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis (2 CD) [2009]
I took you for granted so many years
I gave you no hope, broken promises and tears
But when I was down it was you who was there
To pick up the pieces and show me you care.
Forever together till death do we part
Forsaking all others I'll give you my heart
Through good times and bad times wherever we are
Foerever together in each other's arms.
You seem to know what we had all along
And you had the love and the faith to go on
It took some time but now I realize
That I see it all when I look in your eyes.
Forever together till Death do we part
Forsaking all others I give you my heart
Through good times and bad times wherever we are
Forever together in each other's arms.
Forever together in each other's arms...
