Forever - Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers

If I could see your tender smile

And hold you close just a little while

I’d want this love to last forever

And if one day your trembling hands

Will touch my lips, I’ll understand

And want this love to last forever

Why, why, why won’t you tell me

Tell me the way you feel

Why, why, why

Why won’t you hold me

And tell me that this love is real

If I look in your eyes and see

That you shared a tear for me

I’d want this love to last forever

But then, maybe I’ll get tired of trying

To make you love me too

And then you’ll want this love to last forever

Why, why, why won’t you tell me

Tell me the way you feel

Why, why, why

Why won’t you hold me

And tell me that this love is real

If I look in your eyes and see

That you shared a tear for me

I’d want this love to last forever

But then, maybe I’ll get tired of trying

To make you love me too

And then you’ll want this love to last forever
