Forever lovers, forever friends
A lifetime's a short time
When love never ends


They checked into a small hotel
She blushed when he asked

For the bridal suite

Was the beginning of their lives together

Anxiously they'd waited for the moment
That their love would be complete


She reached inside
Her brand new traveling bag
And found her brand new negligee

And then she shyly slipped it on

And suddenly, he realized

The beauty of the tender prize
He'd waited for so long and finally won


She climbed into the bed
He snapped his fingers
Said, i've got to get champagne


There's a little store right down the block
I'll only be a minute, close your eyes

And, hon, i'll be right back again

And time goes by so slowly

She's not sure how much has passed
When she hears the siren
Screaming through the night


And seven hours later, they find her
Rocking on the bed

Just singing in the early morning light

Forever lovers, forever friends

A lifetime's a short time
When love never ends


She checks into the old hotel
And pays a little extra for the suite


She slips into the faded negligee
And brushes down her hair of gray
And lays her body down to wait


And the night air through the curtains
Makes a sound like someone breathing

And she reaches for him with her fingertips

And they find her in the morning

With tear stains on her pillow
And a smile like a kiss upon her lips


Forever lovers, forever friends
A lifetime's a short time
I knew i'd see you again


Forever lovers, forever friends
A lifetime's a short time

When love never ends
