For all Time - Jill Barber

For all time

We said we’d be

Lovers for all time

And eternity

Words we try to keep

Then leave behind

When we can’t find the thought

We thought we’d be lovers for all time

For all time

I heard you say

We’d be friends forever

Not less a day

And we swore it in

Our blood

But it turned to mud

And now we call it child’s play

For all time

I thought I’d be

The baby

In my family

But I know now

They can’t possibly

Take care of me

For all time

For all time

I was sure

That you would be mine

Forever more

But foolish me

Fallin' for tricks

I’ve seen before

I thought we’d be lovers for all time

So if not

For all time

That I can tempt you

With my charms

Then baby

In the meantime

I will hold you

In my arms
