About Everlasting

"This Will Be" is a song written by Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy, and performed by American singer Natalie Cole. Often appended with "(An Everlasting Love)" but not released as such, this was Natalie Cole's debut single released in April 1975 and one of her biggest hits, becoming a number-one R&B and number-six pop smash in the United States and also reaching the UK Top 40. Cole won a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, a category that had previously been dominated by Aretha Franklin. It would also help her win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Cole had been turned down by every label she approached, but finally gained the interest of Larkin Arnold, who at the time was the executive of Capitol Records, through demos produced by Jackson and Yancy. The two wrote the song at the end of sessions for Arnold, just as he and Cole were about to leave town.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we'e got is
Everlasting, and never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
I was just an average gir
Playing the field, hoping
For someone to come into my world
Someone not afraid to look into my eyes

And make a connection
Then you walked in my direction
And from the moment that we touched
I knew what we found was
Everlasting, what a feeling
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting, and never ending
Is all I need to keep on giving
Walking down a one way street

I had to be careful
'cause it seemed that every guy that I'd meet
Was looking just to have another one night stand
But through your devotion
I surrendered my emotion

I'm giving you the best of me
'cause I'm sure that we'll be
(everlasting) everlasting (what a feeling)
Just to know the love we've got is
Everlasting and never ending
Is all I need to keep on giving
Everlasting love, oh, yeah

It's gonna be, it's gonna be a
(everlasting love) uh, ha
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growin'
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time

(everlasting) whoa, oh (what a feeling)
What a feeling, just to know the love we've got is
(everlasting) everlasting (and never ending)
And never ending
Is all I need to keep on givin'
(everlasting) scat (what a feeling)
Our love's gonna grow
Even through the fire, baby
(everlasting) everlasting

Even though the cold wind's blowin'
Nothing keeps our love from growing
Through the fire we will survive together
Until the end of time
(everlasting, what a feeling) woo, woo, woo
It's gonna be, it's gonna be a

Until the end of time
And even through the fire, baby
