Forever Is A Long Time

​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
