Written for male singer in doowop style – an experiment in Collab. My partner’s music was amazing but my lyrics didn’t work as posted below. I like the song idea but will need major editing to work in this song or it may have to find its own music.

Forever
Lyrics by Kathy Holmes, 2018

I met you on a beach in California
You were looking for a temporary lover you told me as a warnin’
It wouldn’t last forever, your heart was in Minnesota
Your wavy blond hair hid the sadness in your blue eyes
But when you smiled I knew I couldn’t leave your side

Some say love is for losers
Some say love is for boozers
Some say love is for bluesers
But if I’m one of those
Just know
I will love you forever

And then one night just before sunrise
We were making plans, you were going to be mine
You said meet me here at 5 on Friday night
I was waiting at the last stoplight
When I saw your face
You got in a car with a Minnesota license plate

Some say love is for losers
Some say love is for boozers
Some say love is for bluesers
But if I’m one of those
Just know
I will love you forever

Sometimes love stays for a day
Sometimes love stays for a year
No matter how long love appears
It remains in your heart forever

Some say love is for losers
Some say love is for boozers
Some say love is for bluesers
But if I’m one of those
Just know
I will love you forever
