Forever Changed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She remembers the nights he'd come calling
His Yellow Silk tie
In love, she saw him falling for her in the fire of July
Then one day as the nights grew longer
Blackberry winter in a little white church
Stood a young pretty bride

[Chorus]
Forever changed
Forever changed
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever named
Forever changed


[Verse 2]
She remembers the change in her body
The blooming within'
And how her heart seemed to flutter with the wind
Then one night as the days grew longer
That Indian summer
She brought love into the world
Cried and held me then

[Chorus]
Forever changed
Forever changed
Nothing ever stays the same
Forever child
Forever changed
Ooh, mmm

Genius Answer

Carrie Underwood discussed the song, and how she would never be able to perform it live.

I get emotional even talking about this song, to be honest. It’s just beautiful,”. Carrie says she remembers her grandmother getting confused. “It just becomes very real… . and I remember my grandmother at the end of her life, looking at my dad and thinking that that was my grandfather.” “I can never sing this song, like onstage in front of people,“ said Carrie. "I could barely get through it in the studio.”
