Lyrics

[Intro]
Forevermore
Forevermore
[Chorus]
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
Forevermore
She's gone forevermore
[Verse 1]
Let me sing a song about two lovers
A very sad one I know
What made my true love leave me
She's gone forevermore
I tried, and I've tried, and I've tried to keep her from
Walking out my door
Oh, I'm so broken-hearted now
She's gone forevermore
[Chorus]
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
She's gone forevermore
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
She's gone forevermore
[Verse 2]
Why'd she have to leave, leave, leave, leave
She's gone forevermore
Leave, leave, leave
Why'd she have to leave me?
She's gone forevermore
[Chorus]
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
She's gone forevermore
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
She's gone forevermore
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
She's gone forevermore
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
She's gone forevermore
[Verse 3]
Let me sing a song about two lovers
A very sad one I know
What made my true love leave me?
She's gone forevermore
I tried, and I've tried, and I've tried to keep her from
Walking out my door
Oh, I'm so broken-hearted now
She's gone forevermore
[Outro]
Why'd she have to leave me?
Lord, I'll never know
Lord, I'll never know
