Thomas, B.J. - 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?

  34. D.... L....

    I would love to add that forever is a word for where we are going to live forever and always. Now I know I will have non believers on this, but God almighty has proven himself to me so many times he has removed all doubt. I am 68 yrs. and I cannot doubt God and his son, the one who gave his life to save us from Hell Fire. There has been about 40 yrs. of trials, that is to say me trying God that has proven to me that there is no doubt a God almighty. To those who do not fully believe, try him and find out for yourself, then you will have no doubt either ! God bless and help us all ! Thanks Chris Paul for allowing me to send this statement because it is a proven fact . Trust and believe . Now if you are not whole hearted forget it becauce it will not work otherwise. God is for sure as real as it gets.

  35. D.... L....

    Love B. j. Thomas. Love this song. I can not imagin no one doing better on it. Thanks Chris Paul!
