FOREVER IN MY HEART

she never thought she ever would be leavin'

but she couldn't bring herself to stay

she knew that my heart would be grievin'

but she got on that plane anyway

she said "i'll be back but it won't be soon

don't count the stars outside and don't wait on the moon

cuz my heart's been driftin' slowly out to sea

and i won't let the waves crash over me"

one lonely person

two souls apart

three times the pain

forever in my heart

what she got where she was goin' she didn't have a clue

she just bought time to make a brand new start

and i knew that her life would continue

she deserved a better feeling in her heart

i said "come back now and i'll change the way i am

don't stay away- i want to be your man

cuz my heart's been driftin' slowly out to sea

and i won't let the waves crash over me"

ten years from now we're walkin' separate ways

our paths might just cross and we're tempted to say:

"how the hell you doin'? whatsup with your life?

do you ever think about me? do you ever wonder why?

why our hearts are still driftin' slowly out to sea

and the waves still crash over you and me?"
