Forever's Too Short (Official Audio)

Original Song Lyrics by Shawn Westerberg Produced by Shawn Westerberg WORDS Forever's Too Short [Verse 1] You came in laughing at the county fair, Dust on your boots, July in your hair. I’d rehearsed my courage all afternoon, Then you said my name, and the whole world moved. [Pre-Chorus] Now every road I thought I knew Turns somewhere beautiful with you. [Chorus] Forever’s too short for the way I love you, Too few tomorrows for all I’ll put you through— Every mile, every season, every hard-won truth, I want the whole long story, starting here with you. If time is a river, let it carry us through; Forever’s too short for the way I love you. [Verse 2] You know when silence needs a hand to hold, When my stubborn heart needs telling what it’s told. You make a little mercy out of ordinary days, Turn my half-built plans to a life I want to raise. [Pre-Chorus] And if the years leave lines on our skin, I’ll trace each one and choose you again. [Chorus] Forever’s too short for the way I love you, Too few tomorrows for all I’ll put you through— Every mile, every season, every hard-won truth, I want the whole long story, starting here with you. If time is a river, let it carry us through; Forever’s too short for the way I love you. [Bridge] Let the calendar turn, let the old years fall, I’ll meet you at the threshold of them all. No grand illusion, no immaculate plan— Just your hand in mine, and I’ll be your man. [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Forever’s too short for the way I love you, Too few tomorrows for all we’re going to do— Through the miles, through the seasons, every hard-won truth, I want the whole long story, every page with you. If time is a river, let it carry us through; Forever’s too short for the way I love you. [Outro] The whole long story, starting here with you. Forever’s too short— And I’ll spend it loving you.
