Caitlyn and Ian are kindred spirits, and though I wrote this for my own Best Beloved, they inspired it. So this is for Caitlyn and Ian.
Like This Forever
You want your first love to last forever
You know this is right where they belong
But they don’t seem to see
The inevitability
And you’re left wond’ring what went wrong
Once your heart’s been split right down the middle
Feels like you could never love again
But hearts are pretty tough
Made of stronger stuff
They heal and hope to hope for love again
You’re all I need when we’re together
Might sound sentimental, but it’s true
I could go on like this forever
And I think that’s exactly what I’ll do
So sail the sea of life a little longer
Get to know your heart a little more
Like a fine old wine
Takes a little time
Love can bring you right back in to shore
You’re all I need when we’re together
Might sound sentimental, but it’s true
I could go on like this forever
And I think that’s exactly what I’ll do
Maybe love is better when you’re older
Maybe love was waiting all along
Maybe love needs time to find another
Maybe love is more than just a song
My back was stiff when I woke up this morning
There didn’t seem to be a reason why
My brain and heart
Refuse to have a part
In winding slowly down to die
You’re all I need when we’re together
Might sound sentimental, but it’s true
I could go on like this forever
And I think that’s exactly what I’ll do
And I think that’s exactly what I’ll do
