She said forever's gonna be like this

Class ring promise and a shotgun kiss

Blue jean smoke and backseat dreams

Make kids in love believe anything.

She can't feel rain in july without thinking about him

And he can't see top down old jeeps without thinking about her

We love how forever begins

But the trouble with forever is it always ends

Ohh...

She thought love was a pretty white dress

He thought the work was done when she said yes

Three hundred people heard her say I do

But there was no one there when he said we're through.

She can't help sometimes wishing they could start over

And he knows there's so many things that he should've told her

We love how forever begins

But the trouble with forever is it always ends

Ohh, ohh...

He holds her hand as she says goodbye

Fifty years in the blink of an eye

As close to forever as you'll ever get

The trouble with forever is it always ends.
