►LYRICS - Forever and Ever, Amen
You may think that I'm talkin' foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how, but I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be
But you're not just time that I'm killin'
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live, this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die
Oh baby, I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit an' talk about the weather
As long as old women sit an' talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
I'll be happy to tell you again
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
They say time takes its toll on a body
Makes them young girls' brown hair turn gray
Well honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway
They say time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
Well, that's easy to see, it's happenin' to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you
Oh darlin', I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit an' talk about the weather
As long as old women sit an' talk about old men
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
Now, just listen to how this song ends
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and ever, amen

we spent Monday-Thursday in Branson. SORRY we missed your show. just comparing years of following your family on KZbin to what the biggest best advertised band in Branson, there is NO comparison.
