Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Forever is a long long time
To live without a love and cry
I need your love
Say that you’ll be mine
[Verse 2]
Tell me that you won’t say no
I’ll ask you once before I go
I need your love
Say that you’ll be mine
[Bridge]
It’s not easy to say
I want your lovin’ today
[Verse 2]
Tell me that you won’t say no
I’ll ask you once before I go
I need your love
Say that you’ll be mine
[Bridge]
It’s not easy to say
I want your lovin’ today
[Verse 2]
Tell me that you won’t say no
I’ll ask you once before I go
I need your love
Say that you’ll be mine
[Outro]
I need your love
Say that you’ll be mine
I need your love
Forever is a long long time
