Forever's a Long Time |
LyricsForever?s a Long TimeBy Scott Jeffrey Copyright 2006 I go to work every morning with the rising sun Head home in the evening when the day is done Trying to dial my phone by the light of a freeway moon ?Hun it?s bumper to bumper on the interstate? Don?t hold supper ?cause I?m gonna be late I guess I?ll see your smiling faces none too soon. Let?s put the kids to bed And turn the lights down low Put Sinatra on the stereo Try to steal a dance And a little quiet time Maybe we?ll make love And if we do?we do. But if the baby cries well that?s fine too. I?ll just meet you back here tomorrow night at nine? Forever?s a long time to be in love darling. Let?s take it one day at a time. Spilling milk and skinning knees Dr. Seus and ABCs ?Mama thanks for the story can you read me just one more?? Sometimes it feels like we?re runners in an uphill race Never gaining ground just keeping pace Seems that we hit the ground running when our feet touch the floor So let?s put the kids to bed And turn the lights down low Put Sinatra on the stereo Try to steal a dance And a little quiet time Maybe we?ll make love And if we do?we do. But if the baby cries well that?s fine too. I?ll just meet you back here tomorrow night at nine? Forever?s a long time to be in love darling. Let?s take it one day at a time. The kids are at the table making a fuss Sometimes I wish it were just the two of us Wrapped up by a fire away from all this noise But I know some day they won?t be there. Just you and me and three empty chairs I guess for now we?re gonna have to love these boys? And how we love these boys? Let?s put the kids to bed Turn the lights down low Put Sinatra on the stereo Try to steal a dance And a little quiet time Maybe we?ll make love And if we do?we do. But if the baby cries then that?s fine too. I?ll just meet you back here tomorrow night at nine? Because forever?s a long time to be in love darling. Let?s take it one day at a time. |

Story Behind the Song: After a night of romance went south for the 3rd night in a row I got upset and sulked like a little boy. Then I saw my wife feeding our newborn son and I was so moved and convicted of being selfish and petty that I wrote this song. I realized that when yo |
