Wendy James - Now Ain't the Time for Your Tears

I Want to Stand Forever

This used to seem so important
Then again, what is there left to say?
I came up with a dream once
And if I had my way
I would never answer
when they tried to wake me up
>From my beautiful reverie

It might be a dream
but it's my dream
A fantastic disastrous affair

I want to stand forever
'Till the mountains crumble into the sea
And that's not as unlikely as it used to be
'Till the waters rise and we're swept away
And that could happen almost any day

Yes, I want to stand forever
>From now 'till the thirteenth of never
You can throw me in the hellish river
Of my eternally hopeful endeavor
I want to stand... forever
