Everlasting
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
As long as the rivers flow down to the sea
As long as the oceans meet the shore
The love that I promise to you dear tonight
Will live on forever more.
It's everlasting, it's everlasting
It will live right along with each heartbeat of mine
It's everlasting, it's everlasting
It will last till the end of time.
As long as the sunset will follow each day
As long as the mountains meet the sky
The love that I promise to you dear tonight
Will live on and never die.
It's everlasting, it's everlasting
It will live right along with each heartbeat of mine
It's everlasting, it's everlasting
It will last till the end of time.
It will last till the end of time...
