Intro:
(Ein warmer, schwebender Synthesizer-Akkord, sehr langsam und verträumt)
Verse 1:
You told me that you’d love me 'til the end
My lover, my companion and my friend
But the end has come a little fast
I didn't think our love would be the past
Hook:
Forever is a long time to be lonely
Forever is a long time to be blue
I thought that I was truly your one and only
Now I’m just a ghost without a clue
Verse 2:
I see your picture on the mantlepiece
Waiting for this heavy pain to cease
But the silence is a heavy sound
When you’re not there to be around
Hook:
Forever is a long time to be lonely
Forever is a long time to be blue
I thought that I was truly your one and only
Now I’m just a ghost without a clue
Verse 3:
The clock is ticking on the bedroom wall
I’m waiting for your shadow in the hall
But the minutes turn to endless years
Washing out the color with my tears
Hook:
Forever is a long time to be lonely
Forever is a long time to be blue
I thought that I was truly your one and only
Now I’m just a ghost without a clue
Bridge:
If forever means I have to live this way
I’d rather just forget about today
And sleep until the world begins to fade
Hook:
Forever is a long time to be lonely
Forever is a long time to be blue
I thought that I was truly your one and only
Now I’m just a ghost without a clue
