Mathis, Johnny - What's Forever For Lyrics






I've been lookin' at people
And how they change with the times
And lately, all I've been seein' are people
Throwin' love away and losing their minds

Maybe it's me who's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurtin' each other
When love is so hard to come by

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

I've been listenin' to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe

I see love hungry people
Tryin' their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even tryin' to keep it alive

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

    Oh Lenore, I've totally fallen in love with this album today! I have so much Johnny-music, and tend to play the same cd's and lp's again and again. Hadn't played this one for a long time. But today it's on again and again. Thank you.

  26. b.... ....

    This is not one of my frequently used albums. I've sort of forgotten about it, maybe because I prefer him singing alone. I remembered it all wrong, it's not many duets at all! Only with Dihonne. I've listened to it today, for hours. It's lovely! So many beautiful songs! Thank you for reminding me Lenore. You did me a great favor today.
