Lyrics
“From Here To Forever”
Soft as the breeze through your hair
And the smile on your face when you’re sleeping
Is the answer to anyone’s prayer
Fill your heart for the mornin’ tomorrow
You’ve still got a long way to grow
And the love that you’re dreamin’ will guide you
And live like a song in your soul
And darlin’ if we’re not together
There’s one thing I want you to know
I’ll love you from here to forever
And be there wherever you go
There are so many feelings to follow
So many chances to take
So many ways you can stumble
Someday your heart’s gonna break
Darlin’ take all the time that you’re given
Be all you know you can be
And if you need a reason for livin’
Do it for love and for me
And darlin’ if we’re not together
There’s one thing I want you to know
I’ll love you from here to forever
And be there wherever you go
I will love you from here to forever
And be there wherever you go
