Forever

Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]

Forever

Now that you're gone

Gone forever

But the day goes on

Forever

When we were young

With time to waste

Everything was clear and good

Thought we could live

For a thousand years

But yesterday is done

And tomorrow's yet to come

You'll never know

Forever

Now that you're gone

Gone forever

But the day goes on

Forever

Yea yea yea

Forever

And I remember when we were fools

Everything was me and you

Thought we were kings

With time to kill

But yesterday is done

And tomorrow's yet to come

You live and learn

Some people never take the time to try

The way you live's the way you die

The stuff of life's in short supply

And if it sometimes hits you strong

Remembering that things go wrong

The song of life is just a song

And everything goes on and on

Forever

Now that you're gone

Gone forever

But the day goes on

Forever

Yea yea yea

Forever

Forever - Eurythmics

Released on the 2005 compilation album Boxed, 'Forever' represents a significant return to form for Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, marking a shift from their earlier synth-pop dominance toward a more organic, soul-infused sound. The track exemplifies the band's matured songwriting, blending Lennox's distinctive vocal delivery with Stewart's atmospheric production to create a hauntingly beautiful piece. While the song does not appear on their major studio releases from the 1980s, its inclusion on Boxed highlights its enduring appeal and the group's continued relevance in the music industry. The recording stands as a testament to their ability to evolve their style while maintaining the emotional core that defined their career, offering a poignant listen that bridges their classic era with their later work.
