Everlove
Eric Bent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1]
I never thought it was possible.
In my reality
I thought my chances for love were gone.
That time ran out for me.

My heart has been through some changes.
And heaven knows
What I thought was my everlove was so conditional

But my love, everyday with you I'm so surprised
Morning comes, I fall in love again
Each night, I'm thanking God you're in my life
I don't know how I know, but this feeling won't be ending

[Chorus]
You're my everlove
Oh, my everlove
Everlasting through all changes in our lives

You're my everlove
You're my everlove
Ever growing everyday and every night
I found my everlove

[Verse 2]
I'll never ask for perfection
That's how a love can slip away
I only ask for the truth in your heart
The rest we'll work out day by day

You've seen the best and worst of me
But you're still standing here, oh
There is nothing that can stop us now
Cause we've got nothing left to fear

The future will show the power of a moment just like this
Whatever love can dream we both will know
Whatever we imagine will exist
Every kiss, I swear my life, will be deserving of your

[Chorus]

Everlove
You're my everlove
Ever giving, ever learning with every cry
I found my everlove

[Bridge]
The winds of change will blow
Your friends may come, may go
Each struggle in life may put us through the fire
But as long as I'm alive
I'll be right there by your side

[Chorus]

Everlove
You're my everlove




Ever growing everyday and every night
I found my everlove
