FOREVER IS AS FAR AS I'LL GO

In May of 1991 God was making it quite obvious that Robin Paulton would be "that special someone" In December 1991 we were married and that is why I get to be part of that special Fourth of July family gathering at Jack and Ellen Paulton's place. As I was writing this, a special song came through our playlist. One of the few country songs in the list. Alabama sang a song back then that we had sung at our wedding reception. It is still true today. LBR

FOREVER IS AS FAR AS I'LL GO
I'll admit I could feel it
The first time that we touched.
The look in your eyes
Said you felt as much
But I'm not a man
Who falls so easily
It's best that you know
Where you stand with me

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.

When there's age around my eyes
And gray in your hair
And it only takes a touch to recall
The love we've shared
I won't take for granted
That you know my love is true
Each night in your arms
I will whisper to you.

I will give you my heart
Faithful and true
And all the love it can hold
That's all I can do
But I've thought about
How long I'll love you
And it's only fair that you know
Forever's as far as I'll go.
