By far the best female cover I have found for this song. I have been trying so hard to figure out the best way to sing it, and your version makes it easier for females while at the same time still maintaining the same emotional beats in the notes. Thank you so much!

[@ClaireMarieSpencer]

I was definitely struggling as well with how to sing this as a female where it sounds natural, like when tenors sing it. I didn't want to change the melody too much but wanted to find a way to make it more singable. I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@johannaplockl463]

I love that you say "she's coming to get me"! I don't know if I imagined it, but if than it's really smart!

[@CowboyKisser]

“Her mom, I wanna be like her!” Literal chills. Love it ❤️❤️

End of May or early June This picture-perfect afternoon we shared Drive the winding country road Grab a scoop at À La Mode And then we're there An open field that's framed with trees We pick a spot and shoot the breeze Like buddies do Quoting songs by our favorite bands Telling jokes no one understands Except us two And we talk and take in the view All we see is sky for forever We let the world pass by for forever Feels like we could go on for forever this way Two friends on a perfect day We walk a while and talk about The things we'll do when we get out of school Bike the Appalachian trail or Write a book or learn to sail Wouldn't that be cool? There's nothing that we can't discuss Like girls we wish would notice us but never do He looks around and says to me "There's nowhere else I'd rather be" And I say, "me too" And we talk and take in the view We just talk and take in the view All we see is sky for forever We let the world pass by for forever Feels like we could go on for forever this way, this way All we see is light for forever 'Cause the sun shines bright for forever Like we'll be alright for forever this way Two friends on a perfect day And there he goes Racing toward the tallest tree From far across the yellow field I hear him calling, "follow me" there we go Wondering how the world might look from up so high One foot after the other One branch then to another I climb higher and higher I climb 'til the entire Sun shines on my face And I suddenly feel the branch give way I'm on the ground My arm goes numb I look around And I see him come to get me He's come to get me And everything's okay All we see is sky for forever We let the world pass by for forever Buddy, you and I for forever this way, this way All we see is light 'Cause the sun burns bright We could be alright for forever this way Two friends True friends On a perfect day

What does it take to get you to sing the rest of the Even Hansen album..? You're amazing. I wish you'd sing more often, and more Evan Hansen.

So me and my friend really want to sing this for our talent show. Do you have any sheet music? that would be super helpful. Thanks!

Hey! So go to Musicnotes.com and look up "For Forever". Then change the key to C Major (that's the key I sang it in) unless you want to do the original key. I have just a piano accompaniment version on my channel that's in C.
