Forever For You
Hall And Oates · Do It For Love [2003]
Does anyone know what love can cost?
To take you so high then leave you lost?
Is it a mystery that runs too deep
For such a simple heart?
Can anyone stop the hands of time?
And put back the loving in your eyes?
Though it's his name I hear when you are sleeping
I'll pretend it's mine
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
A rose is a rose by any name
But a thorn will still cut you just the same
I'm losing your love I know
So sad the feeling
I can tell somebody's stealing
Stealing away your heart
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
I don't know if I should tell you
How you live in my heart
There's no room for another
If you leave me now
My heart would not recover
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
To take you so high then leave you lost?
Is it a mystery that runs too deep
For such a simple heart?
Can anyone stop the hands of time?
And put back the loving in your eyes?
Though it's his name I hear when you are sleeping
I'll pretend it's mine
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
A rose is a rose by any name
But a thorn will still cut you just the same
I'm losing your love I know
So sad the feeling
I can tell somebody's stealing
Stealing away your heart
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
I don't know if I should tell you
How you live in my heart
There's no room for another
If you leave me now
My heart would not recover
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
