forever

Sam Cooke

If I could see your tender smile
And hold you close just a little while
I want this love to last forever
And if one day your trembling hands
Will touch my lips I'll understand
And want this love to last forever

Why, why won't you tell me
Tell me the way you feel
Why won't you hold me
And tell me that this love is real
If I look in your eyes and see
That you shared a tear for me
I want this love to last forever

But then, maybe I'll get tired
Of trying to make you love me to
And then you want this love to last forever

Why, why won't you tell me
Tell me the way you feel
Why won't you hold me
And tell me that this love is real
If I look in your eyes and see
That you shared a tear for me
I want this love to last forever

But then, maybe I'll get tired
Of trying to make you love me to
And then you want this love to last forever
