(Wayne Southards - Blake Williams)

Somewhere tonight, a woman cries alone
Broken vows from the love that has gone wrong
Her dreams an' plans lay shattered on the floor
Forever ain't that long any more.

Just down the street, he tries to wave goodbye
His world has been destroyed because her love has died
He watched as she just walked out the door
Forever ain't that long any more.

With the best of intentions, their hearts believed
That it would last for all eternity
Oh, the despair when love turns to war
Forever ain't that long any more.

When the fighting stops and the healing is through
Forgetting's not that easy when they start anew
They'll try an' love again just like they did before
Forever ain't that long any more.

With the best of intentions, their hearts believed
That it would last for all eternity
Oh, the despair when love turns to war
Forever ain't that long any more.

Oh, the despair when love turns to war
Forever ain't that long any more
Oh, forever ain't that long any more...
