Forever
John Michael Montgomery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess I'm just a little bit scared
I guess I'm not as strong as I thought
When I see you lying there I worry about losing you
I used to think of only me but that was long ago
Now I find it hard to conceive life without you

Baby I don't want to be the one to face this life
All alone at the end of the day
When the sun goes down I want you right here in my arms forever

Every little smile, every move you make
It's like a dagger to my heart, took my breath away
Now all I ask is that you be mine forever, forever

So think about what you're doing here
If you're anything less than sincere tell me now
And let yourself out the door
No harm, no foul, kill me now, save me all the pain
But if you feel the way I do stay, let me make love to you

Baby I don't want to be the one to face this life
All alone at the end of the day
When the sun goes down I want you right here in my arms forever

Every little smile, every move you make
It's like a dagger to my heart, took my breath away
All I ask is that you be mine forever, forever
Forever

Baby I don't want to be the one to face this life
All alone at the end of the day
When the sun goes down I want you right here in my arms forever

Every little smile, every move you make
It's like a dagger to my heart, took my breath away
All I ask is that you be mine forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever

I guess I'm just a little bit scared




I guess I'm not as strong as I thought
When I see you lying there I worry about losing you
