(I thought it was forever) 
The night before you came 
My world was full of emptiness and shame 
The horse you rode looked white 
But was black as tonight 
Oh 

We looked the perfect pair, oh 
We were the two who’d never see despair 
The envy of the crowd 
Now we’re lost in the clouds
Oh

I thought it was forever 
I thought you were the one 
Our love was now or never 
We had just begun 
And I thought it was forever 
Our place was in the sun 
What God had joined together 
Now that’s all undone 

I knew it from the start, ey
I knew you’d be the one to break my heart 
How can I be consoled
When I’ve lost all control 
Oh

I thought it was forever 
I thought you were the one 
Our love was now or never 
We had just begun 
And I thought it was forever 
Our place was in the sun 
What God had joined together 
Now that’s all undone 

Oh oh oh oh
When I turn around 
I gonna get the wings to fly 

I thought it was forever 
I thought you were the one 
Our love was now or never 
We had just begun 
And I thought it was forever 
Our place was in the sun 
What God had joined together 
Now that’s all undone 

And I thought it was forever 
I thought you were the one 
Our love was now or never 
We had just begun 
And I thought it was forever 
(Thought it was forever) 
I thought it was forever 
(Forever and ever)
