I lost you in the darkness when I fell from the light   I held onto the world too tight   I thought I'd never find you, I thought I'd be alone   But you took my hand and led me home      Now I know, now I know   That you'll always be where I go      Forever is a long time   To be without you in my life   I wanna keep you by my side   'Cause forever is a long time   Ooh, yeah,oh, yeah      You had faith when I was faithless   Strength when I don't   You believe in me even when I won't   You are patient, you are true   You love is what gets me through      Now I know, ooh, I know, yeah, yeah   That you'll always be where I go      Forever is a long time   To be without you in my life   I wanna keep you by my side   'Cause forever is a long time      Even when I'm pulled apart at the seams   And it's hard to believe   Even in my darkest hour, my darkest day   You shine on me      Forever is a long time   To be without you in my life   I wanna keep you by my side   'Cause forever is a long time      Forever is a long time   To be without you in my life   I wanna keep you by my side   'Cause forever is a long time   Oh, yeah, how I need you   Forever
