We're Through Forever (Till Tomorrow)
Dolly Parton · Heartbreaker [1978]
Dolly Parton & Richard Dennison
Love's a war we all survive, a never ending compromise
We always seem to say we're through
Just to say tomorrow, babe, I'm still in love with you
Every now and then we fight so very sure we're both right
Saying things we never mean
Just to take them back tomorrow and admit how wrong we've been.
We're through forever 'til tomorrow
That's all we really seem to say
We can't go on with all this sorrow
We've got to find a better way.
Many times we would fight and I would leave you
Then I'd find, just how much I really need you and love you
Oh, oh, candle light, a glass of wine can bring back vision to the blind
Making love is sweet revenge
And when the battle's over we're back in love and we both win.
We're through forever 'til tomorrow
That's all we really seem to say
From here, where is our love to go
And from us, what is left to say.
Hey, hey, we're through forever till tomorrow
We're through forever till tomorrow
We're through forever till tomorrow
We're through forever till tomorrow...
