Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna live forever

I'm gonna cross that river

I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

You're gonna wanna hold me

Just like I always told you

You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

[Refrain]

Nobody here will ever find me

But I will always be around

Just like the songs I leave behind me

I'm gonna live forever now

[Instrumental]

You fathers and you mothers

Be good to one another

Please try to raise your children right

Don't let the darkness take 'em

Don't make 'em feel forsaken

Just lead them safely to the light

[Refrain]

When this old world has blown us under

And all the stars from fall the sky

Remember someone really loves you

We'll live forever, you and I

[Chorus]

I'm gonna live forever

I'm gonna cross that river

I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

I'm gonna live forever

I'm gonna cross that river

I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

[Instrumental]

I'm gonna live forever

I'm gonna cross that river

I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

I'm gonna live forever

I'm gonna cross that river

I'm gonna catch tomorrow now
