Forever After
Written by Cheryl, Pam, and Stephanie Walters. Copyright 1998
(Verse 1)
Life's winds that blow on us each day take us away,
A little at a time
What we have right this moment is what we have right now.
There may be no more
Before we pass through the door
Of forever after.
Yeah...
(Chorus mix in)
Ooh, forever after, that's what you're hopin' for
Not me.
Don't you see, don't you see.
An avalanche of time,
A melody of rhyme.
It's all within, it's all within your mind.
(Chorus)
Forever after, that's what you're hopin' for
Not me.
Don't you see-
Today is all we got.
An avalanche of time,
A melody of rhyme.
Forever after is all within your mind.
(Verse 2)
We're not young forever
Our lives will pass away
We'll join the ranks of time
There are mountains to climb
Others look back on us and say
Hey I'm glad we're not that way!
(Bridge)
Ooh, forever after, forever after baby, I don't know about that, I don't know I don't know.
Ooh, forever after, forever after baby, I don't know about that, I don't know I don't know.
(Chorus)
Forever after, that's what you're hopin' for
Not me.
Don't you see-
Today is all we got.
An avalanche of time,
A melody of rhyme.
Forever after is all within your mind.
(Chorus)
Forever after, that's what you're hopin' for
Not me.
Don't you see -
Today is all we got.
An avalanche of time,
A melody of rhyme.
Forever after is all within your mind.
Forever after, forever after is all within your mind.
Forever after is all within your mind.
(Improv talking)
(Verse 1)
Baby, I stopped and I stopped and I stared when I looked
and I saw you standing there.
Then, baby, then I looked into your e-e-e-e-eyes.
And then (oww),
I almost died.
(Aw yeah, ha ha!)
(Chorus)
Baby help me
Raise the roof
Baby darlin' help me
Raise the roof.
Raiseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Raise the roof
The rooooooooooooof.
(Verse 2)
Baby you stopped and smiled at me when you looked
And you saw me staring there
then baby you kissed me and I suppressed a sigh.
And then, owww.
My heart liquified.
(I like that!)
(Bridge)
Harbor's raising the roof - ah-ah-ow.
Harbor's raising the roof - ah-ah-ow.
Harbor's raising the roof - ah-ah-ow.
Harbor's raising the roof - ah-ah-ow.
You'll be with me when I fly high, we'll paint the sky,
We'll raise the roof now baby.
You'll be with me when time takes its toll, you've touched my soul,
Help me raise the roof now baby.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. (Here we go now!)
(Chorus)
Baby help me
Raise the roof
Baby darlin' help me
Raise the roof.
Raiseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Raise the roof
The rooooooooooooof.
Raise the Roof
(Chorus)
Baby help me
Raise the roof
Baby darlin' help me
Raise the roof.
Raiseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Raise the roof
The rooooooooooooof.
Raise the roof! Ah-ah-ow.
(Chorus:)
To say goodbye is the only thing in life
That is fully guaranteed.
To say goodbye is the only thing in life
That is fully guaranteed.
But you don't seem to realize
The battles we face on our own
To say goodbye is the only thing in life
That is fully guaranteed.
(Verse:)
When a person leaves,
They hurt all around them young and old.
Cause that person through life
Creates a web
around them of plutonic love
But when they die
the web surrounding
is broken into pieces of them
And although severed
from the original cause
They're kept residing in the hearts of all.
(Bridge:)
You have to say goodbye, say goodbye, baby
You have to say goodbye, say goodbye.
You have to say goodbye, say goodbye, baby
You have to say goodbye, say goodbye.
(Chorus:)
To say goodbye is the only thing in life
That is fully guaranteed.
To say goodbye is the only thing in life
That is fully guaranteed.
To hold someone so close
In your heart that they could feel it too
To say goodbye is the only thing in life
That is fully guaranteed.
That is fully
Guaranteed.
