Lyrics to Forever Mine :
One look in your gentle eyes
Let me know I would spend my life
All my years in your gentle arms
All my days with your love so warm
One sound of your precious voice
Let me know that I had no choice
I knew I'd be forever yours
[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{I love you}
I love you like the king you are
I love you like the sky loves stars
I love you like the grass loves green
I love you the way you love me
Never a day I thought I'd see
The way true love would be
I know I'll be forever yours
[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{I love you yes I do}
I love you and I need you
I adore you
Your so sweet
I'm here and you'll be there for it
Forever you and me
[Chorus:]
All of my life
Forever mine
Until the blue sky fades away
All of my days
No other way
There are only three words I will say
{There are only three words I will say}
All of my life
I will love you
Oh I promise
I will need you
All of my, all of my life
Yeah
All of my life I will spend my life with the one
Who I love
I love you and I need you yes
All of my life
