Randy Travis, Forever and Ever, Amen (1987)
^{Key: :[C#] (w: Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz)}

VERSE 1:
You [C#] may think that [F#] I'm talking [C#] foolish
You've [F#] heard that I'm wild and I'm [C#] free
You [F#] may wonder how I can [C#] promise you now
This [D#] love that I'm feeling for you [G#] always will be

VERSE 2:
[C#] You're not this [F#] time that I'm [C#] killing
I'm [F#] no longer one of those [C#] guys
As [F#] sure as I live this [C#] love that I give
Is [D#] gonna be yours till the [G#] day that I die, oh baby

CHORUS 1:
[C#] I'm gonna [F#] love you for-[C#]-ever
For-[F#]-ever and ever a-[C#]-men
As [F#] long as old men sit and [C#] talk about the weather
As [D#] long as old women sit and [G#] talk about old men

CHORUS 2:
If you [C#] wonder how [F#] long I'll be [C#] faithfull
I'll be [F#] happy to tell you a-[D#]-gain
[F#] I'm gonna [G#] love you for-[C#]-ever and [F#] ever
For-[D#]-ever and [G#] ever a-[C#]-men

BREAK: (as second half of chorus)
[F#] [G#] [C#] [F#] [D#] [G#] [C#]

VERSE 3:
They say that [C#] time takes it's [F#] toll on a [C#] body
Makes the [F#] young girls brown hair turn [C#] grey
But [F#] honey I don't care, I'm ain't in [C#] love with your hair
And if it [D#] all fell out, well I'd [G#] love you anyway

VERSE 4:
They say that [C#] time can play [F#] tricks on a [C#] memory
And [F#] people forget things that they [C#] knew
But it's [F#] easy to see it's [C#] happening to me
I've al-[D#]-ready forgotten every [G#] woman but you, oh darlin'

CHORUS 3:
[C#] I'm gonna [F#] love you [C#] forever
For-[F#]-ever and ever a-[C#]-men
As [F#] long as old men sit and [C#] talk about the weather
As [D#] long as old women sit and [G#] talk about old men

CHORUS 4:
If you [C#] wonder how [F#] long I'll be [C#] faithfull
Just [F#] listen to how this song [D#] ends
[F#] I'm gonna [G#] love you for-[C#]-ever and [F#] ever
For-[D#]-ever and [G#] ever a-[C#]-men

OUTRO:
[F#] I'm gonna [G#] love you, for-[C#]-ever and [F#] ever
For-[D#]-ever and [G#] ever, for-[C#]-ever and [F#] ever
For-[D#]-ever and [G# open] ever, amen [C# open]
