Forever is a Long Long Time - Summer 1999. DADGBD. This song was written in 1999 during a painful time of estrangement from a man with whom I'd enjoyed a sparkling but short lived love affair. It is a true account of our journey into Love and out the other side.

FOREVER IS A LONG LONG TIME

KEY OF E (DROP D KAPO 2)
Music & Lyrics
M. Grittani

Into the shimmering sea
We wandered you and me
Made love among the reeds
As the afternoon tide lapped at my feet
Then I swam my way to the shore
Where we made love some more
Walked home along the railroad line
Hearts as full as forever is a long long time

Under the cover of night
‘Neath a blanket of stars so bright
You held me as I cried
For that darkness I’d seen behind your eyes
“Have faith” you said to me
You said “I love you my Gypsy Queen”
And I wanted to believe
That my fire would warm you
That my love could wash you clean

Through time we made our way
Through white winter nights
And lazy summer days
And the music that we made
Still rings like a bell from across the bay
And wherever our roads may lead
You will always live in me
In memories so fine
We dreamed of forever
But forever is a long long time
