She remembers the nights [bad word] calling
 His yellow-silk tie
 In love she saw him falling for her in the fire of July
 Then one day as the nights grew longer
 Blackberry winter in a little white church
 Stood a young pretty bride

 [bad word] 
 Forever changed,
 Forever changed,
 Nothing ever stays the same
 Forever named,
 Forever changed

 She remembers the change in her body
 The blooming within
 And how her heart seemed to flutter with the wind
 Then one night as the days grew longer
 That Indian summer
 She brought love into the world
 Cried and held me then

 [bad word] 
 Forever changed,
 Forever changed,
 Nothing ever stays the same
 Forever a child,
 Forever changed

 Somedays she’ll talk about aunt Rosie
 The sister she lost
 Asking when [bad word] over
 And why she hasn’t called
 Somedays I just hold her fragile hand
 As Tom creeps cross the floor
 Somedays it just kills me
 Watching her memories slip away a little more

 [Outro]
 Forever changed,
 Forever changed,
 Nothing ever stays the same
 Forever named,
 Forever a child,
 Forever loved,
 Forever changed.
