Forever and a Day Lyrics

I thought we'd be, together forever
But it seems I was wrong
And everything has fallen apart

Think, of what I've done for you
Think of all that we've been through
I hope every time he breaks your heart
You think of me, and how I was to you

Everything has fallen apart
Everything

One day you'll see, just how good I was
One day you'll see, just how good I was

And I thought that we'd be
And I thought that we'd be (Together forever)
And I thought that we'd be (Together forever)
And I thought that we'd be (Together forever)
And I thought that we'd be...

[Spoken: (the poem "Where The Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein)]

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins
And there the grass grows soft and white
And there the sun burns crimson bright
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
