Forever
Julie Anne San Jose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1]
I've been looking back
On everything, everything we had
Must have been out of my head
To say those things,
Say those things I said.

[Chorus]
Now how do I go back
I know I can't.
Need a time machine
To rewind what I said.
It didn't sound right
It wasn't what I meant.
The way I felt it,
I want you to know that
I loved you and I did try
Wish we hadn't say goodbye
'Cause I love you forever and ever.

[Verse 2]
I just can't forget
The promises we walked away and left
Memories pulled me back,
They go 'round in,
They go 'round in my head.

[Chorus]
Now how do I go back
I know I can't.
Need a time machine
To rewind what I said.
It didn't sound right
It wasn't what I meant.
The way I felt it,
I want you to know that
I loved you and I did try
Wish we hadn't say goodbye
'Cause I love you forever and ever.

Can I tell you that I was only mad
I never should've turned away from a love like that.
And you... (kept on loving me)
(Kept on loving me)
(Kept on loving me)

Can I tell you that I was only mad
I never should've turned away from a love like that.
And you... (kept on loving me)
(Kept on loving me)
(Kept on loving me)

[Chorus]
Now how do I go back
I know I can't.
Need a time machine
To rewind what I said.
It didn't sound right
It wasn't what I meant.
The way I felt it,
I want you to know that
I loved you and I did try
Wish we hadn't say goodbye
'Cause I love you forever and ever.

Isa si Julie sa dahilan bakit nanunuod pa ko sa GMA. Talented, mabait at walang kaarte arte. Bukod sa magaling na singer at musician magaling din sya umarte sa buena familia and magaling magpatawa sa SPS. Kakatuwa sya sa Kopi talk segment
