forever s here to stay

George Jones

Written by L. Bastian & B. Cannon (?)

She stepped out of the Taxi, with a suitcase in her hand
And a hand bag too full for her to hold
I felt her body tremble as I took her in my arms
And she whispered, don t ever let me go

(Chorus:)
The I watched her hang her dresses up and close the closet door
And I watched her put her satin things away
Somehow now I know she won t be leaving anymore
I do believe forever s here to stay

It s good to hear her foot steps just walking down the hall
Lord, I wondered would I hear those sounds again
We re picking up the pieces, and putting away the past
We ve got a lot of broken dreams to mend

(Repeat chorus)
