Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's sittin' at the table
The hour's gettin' later
He was supposed to be here
She sure he would have called
She waits a little longer
There's no one in the driveway
No one said they've seen him
Why, is somethin' wrong?
[Verse 2]
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says somethin's happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knee first
And he said
[Verse 3]
I want you forever
Forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always
[Verse 4]
She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls
A maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened
But she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face
As she walks into the room
[Verse 5]
She sits by his bedside
Holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids
They're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside
Where they would stay
[Verse 6]
Stay there forever
Forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
And always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other
Forever and always
[Verse 7]
Then she gets an idea
And calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain
And he says a couple verses
She borrows some rings
From the couple next door
Everybody's laughin'
As the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes
And she says
[Verse 8]
I want you forever
Forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
And always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other
Forever and always
[Verse 9]
Forever and always
Forever and always
[Verse 10]
She finishes the vows
But the beeps are gettin' too slow
His voice is almost too low
As he says
I love you forever
Forever and always
Please, just remember
Even if I'm not there
I'll always love you
Forever and always
