Kim about ‘Now & Forever’

Another collaboration with George McFarlane and a personal favourite. Something forever is something spiritual and that is where love should come from, truly from the soul. Forever should not be said lightly.

Lyrics

I will always love you
Now and forever
I will always love you
Two words collide
Before we knew what was happening
Love crashed into our lives
So helplessly we fell so hard
Guess something had to break
We made our first mistake
We thought we’d found the answer over night
To all the problems that were in our lives
And now I feel the tears
And not a minute passes by
When I don’t wish
That you were near

Time will never mend (oh no)
This broken heart
Now and forever
I will always love you
Pain that never ends (oh oh)
You can be sure
Now and forever
I will always love you

When you hear my name
Tell me how do you fell
Is it just like me
My heart fills up with pain
Just the mention of you makes me fall apart
But where is there to start
You sais we missed our chance and it’s too late
But I believe there’s one more chance to take
I know we said goodbye
But I still can’t let go
Please give us one more try

Time will never mend (oh no)
This broken heart
Now and forever
I will always love you
Pain that never ends (oh oh)
You can be sure
Now and forever
I will always love you

Think again before you walk away
There’s so many reasons you should stay
It’s our destiny
It how it’s got to be
Just you and me
No matter where you go
No matter what you do
You know I’m gonna be right here for you

I will always love you
Giving you my heart
Giving you my soul
Never ever gonna let you go
I will always love you
