As Far As Forever

We met down by the river where the willow tree would sway
I saw you in the sunlight and my worries slipped away
You smiled at me so sweetly like you'd known me all my life
From that day on I knew I'd found my wife

I'll love you forever as far as forever goes
But if I'm gone tomorrow hell that's the way it goes
In this moment we're together and that's all we really need
I'll love you forever just wait and see

We built our dreams together in a cabin by the stream
Laughed away the hard times and lived inside our dream
But every storm that passed us left a mark upon the door
We knew the winds of change would come we just didn't know what for

I'll love you forever as far as forever goes
But if I'm gone tomorrow hell that's the way it goes
In this moment we're together and that's all we really need
I'll love you forever just wait and see

One night the fire was crackling we talked about the years
About all the joy we'd known and the little hidden fears
You held my hand and whispered"We'll face whatever comes"
But deep inside I wondered if our time was almost done

Then came the results sealed in ink
A call that took me far from home too quick to even think
I promised my love forever with every breath I own
But life had other plans and left you all alone

Now I'm just a memory etched in your heart's embrace
A love that burns eternal though I've left this earthly place
Know that in the silence where the river gently flows
I'm still loving you forever as far as forever goes

I'll love you forever as far as forever goes
But if I'm gone tomorrow hell that's the way it goes
In this moment we're together and that's all we really need
I'll love you forever just wait and see

Yeah I'll love you forever as far as forever goes
Even when I'm gone tomorrow my love for you still grows.
