             D          E      F#m
Does anyone know what love can cost
                   D          E       F#m
It'll take you so high then leave you lost
         E
Is it a mystery
      D
that runs too deep
     E
for such a simple heart
             D       E        F#m
Can anyone stop the hands of time
                  D     E       F#m
and put back the loving in your eyes
                 E                D
Though it's his name I hear when you are sleeping
E
I'll pretend it's mine

Chorus:
A                     E
When they ask me how long I'm gonna love you
F#m                 E
If the road to my heart will always stay true
D           C#m F#m
I'll say forever
D           E         A
I'll say Forever For You
A                      E
When they ask will I stand right there beside you
F#m                        E
and they don't see you and me the way that I do
D           C#m F#m
I'll say forever
D           E         A
I'll say Forever For You

A rose is rose
By any name
But a thorn will still cut
You just the same
I'm losing your love I know
So sad the feeling
I can tell
Somebodys' stealing
Stealin' away your heart

Chorus:
When they ask me how long
I'm gonna love you
If the road to my heart
Will always stay true
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you
When they ask will I stand
Right there beside you
And they don't see you and me
The way that I do
I'll say forever
I'll say forever for you

F#m                      C#m
I don't know if I should tell you
F#m                 C#m
how you live in my heart
F#m                   C#m
There's no room for another
D
If you leave me now
My heart would not recover

Chorus:
(Forever for you)
When they ask me how long
I'm gonna love you (Oh I'm gonna love you)
If the road to my heart (Heart..)
Will always stay true
I'll say forever (Say forever)
I'll say forever for you (I'll say..)
When they ask will I stand (And I'll say forever)
Right there beside you (Oh yeah)
And they don't see you and me (They don't see you)
The way that I do (The way that I do.)
I'll say forever (I'll say forever)
I'll say forever for you (I'll be right there.
Ohh, ohh always and forever.)
