Forever Lovers

Forever lovers
Forever friends
A lifetime's a short time
When love never ends

They checked into a small hotel she blushed when he asked for the bridal suite
Was the beginning of their lives together
Anxiously, they'd waited for the moment they could make their love complete

She reached inside her brand new travelling bag and found her brand new negligee
And shyly slipped it on
And suddenly, he realised the beauty
Of his tender prize he'd waited for so long and finally won

She looked at him and smiled, he snapped his fingers
Said, I've got to get champagne
There's a little store right down the block
I'll only be a minute
Close your eyes, hon and I'll be right back again

And time goes by so slowly, she's not sure how much has passed
When she hears the siren screaming through the night
And seven hours later
They find her rocking on the bed
Singing in the early morning light

Forever lovers
Forever friends
A lifetime's a short time
When love never ends

She checks into the old hotel and pays a little extra for the suite
She slips into the faded negligee and brushes down her hair of grey
And lays her body down to wait
And the night air through the curtains makes a sound like someone breathing
She reaches for him with her fingertips
And they find her in the morning with tear stains on her pillow
And a smile like a kiss upon her lips

Forever lovers
Forever friends
A lifetime's a short time
Till I see you again

Forever lovers
Forever friends
A lifetime's a short time
I knew I'd see you again

Forever lovers
