  • You may think that I'm talking foolish
    You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
    You may wonder how I can promise you now
    This love that I feel for you always will be
    But you're not just time that I'm killin'
    I'm no longer one of those guys
    As sure as I live, this love that I give
    Is gonna be yours until the day that I die

    Oh, baby, I'm gonna love you forever
    Forever and ever, amen
    As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
    As long as old women sit and talk about old men
    If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
    I'll be happy to tell you again
    I'm gonna love you forever and ever
    Forever and ever, amen

    They say time take its toll on a body
    Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray
    Well, honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
    And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway
    They say time can play tricks on a mem'ry
    Make people forget things they knew
    Well, it's easy to see it's happenin' to me
    I've already forgotten every woman but you
    Oh, darlin', I'm gonna love you forever
    Forever and ever, amen

    As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
    As long as old women sit and talk about old men
    If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
    Well, just listen to how this song ends
    I'm gonna love you forever and ever
    Forever and ever, amen
    I'm gonna love you forever and ever
    Forever and ever, forever and ever
    Forever and ever, amen Writer/s: Don Schlitz, Paul Overstreet
