Why Say Forever
Maybe it’s only in old wedding photos, baby
That a couple stays forever locked
Safely in each other’s truly promised hearts
Maybe it’s only in those real old movies
That the planets line up with the moon
And shooting star counters catch their counterparts
So why say "everlasting"
Baby why talk about eternity
Baby why say "forever"
There is no question in my mind we love each other
At this junction of our separate lives
But I’ve had some lessons in short-term true love’s cost
I’ve seen a lot of coupled hearts get thrown against reality
Like crimson dice against a wall
And only shattered snake eyes ever did get rolled
And there was so much more than innocence -- that got lost
So why say "everlasting"
Baby why do you talk about eternity
Baby why say "forever"
I knew a hypnotized man who gave up smoking
Purely by the power of suggestion
And I must confess the power of your love sometimes suggests
That you are the secret answer
To why say "everlasting"
To why talk about eternity
To why say "forever"
