About Forever

"Forever" is a Kenny Loggins song from his 1985 album, Vox Humana. It was released as the second single from the album, after "Vox Humana", and became another Top 40 hit for Loggins. The song was originally written for a short film called Access All Areas produced by Jenny Sullivan (ex-wife of Jim Messina, Loggins' former bandmate). Some of its success on the charts can be attributed to its use in the soap opera, The Young and the Restless.

Now, while we're here alone
And all is said and done
Now I can let you know
Because of all you've shown
I've grown enough to tell you
You'll always be inside of me

How many roads have gone by
So many words left unspoken
I needed to be by your side
If only to hold you

Forever in my heart
Forever we will be
And even when I'm gone
You'll be here in me
Forever

Once, I dreamed that you were gone
I cried out trying to find you
I begged the dream to fade away
And please awaken me
But night took a hold of my heart
And left me with no one to follow
the love that I lost to the dark
I'll always remember

Forever in my heart
Forever we will be
And know that when I'm gone
You'll be here in me
Forever in my heart
You always thought I'd be
I'd be yours
Forever
