[Verse 1: Robert Lamm]
Every day it seems we hear the same old story
Every day there's lovers giving up on love
People say it's just a fact of modern living
All around us, people fall in love and marry
Then we hear they're breaking up, and wonder why?
Did they mean it when they said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
Forever
Is a long, long time
Longer than we ever realize
Forever
Is a long, long time
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm]
Every day I spend with you, I call it lucky
Every night we touch and speak the words of love
Did I mean it when I said it was forever?
All I know is what I feel

[Chorus: Robert Lamm]
Forever
Is a long, long time
Longer than we ever realize
Forever
Is a long, long time
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever
[Outro: Robert Lamm]
I'm gonna love you the rest of my life
Forever
