by Stephen Stills



To forget about lovin' you at all is

beyond me

I cannot understand yeah

Here without you is loneliness

I called out in desperation give me

back your hand

I can't believe I've heard you say forever

It may be my naïveté

But life is real and not a play

Together we will go on

And I have not the faintest glimmer

of the past

And tomorrow will come and go away

And my heart is broken but will last

My spirit cries out to you for space

It is good can you feel it

It is strong cannot defeat it

And I don't believe you've gone away

Don't believe I've heard you say forever

It may be my naïveté

But life is real and not a play

Together we will go on

And as my future grows darker every day

I can't help wonderin' how you feel

About how high a price we have to pay

Broken dreams, broken hearts that

will not heal

And I don't believe you've gone away

Don't believe I heard you say forever

It may be my naïveté

But life is real and not a play

Together we will go on
