I never set times and places
I never made long-term plans
I never let strings attach too tight
I never gave more than 'maybe'
I never made promises
Never said 'I will' when I could say 'I might'
And I would have sworn and vowed
I'd never look too far down
The road of the future
But I'm looking now
'Cause you got me thinking
Of forever and always
The big and the small ways
You change the things I thought I knew
You got me believing
That every tomorrow
Would be so much better
Spent with you
I tried like hell to fight this feeling
Told myself it's nothing more
Than just another phase I'm going through
(it's not gonna last)
I tried to keep it nice and simple
Be the guy I was before
And not do anything he wouldn't do
But every time I pull in the reins
And go back to the short-term game
I used to call it
It's not the same
'Cause you got me thinking
Of forever and always
The big and the small ways
You change the things I thought I knew
You got me believing
That every tomorrow
Would be so much better
Spent with you
My whole world's been redefined
Can't believe these words are mine
When the brush of time greys my hair
And I'm sitting down in my chair
Looking back on a lifetime
I see you there
'Cause you got me thinking
Of forever and always
The big and the small ways
You change the things I thought I knew
You got me believing
That every tomorrow
Would be so much better
Spent with you
I never made long-term plans
I never let strings attach too tight
I never gave more than 'maybe'
I never made promises
Never said 'I will' when I could say 'I might'
And I would have sworn and vowed
I'd never look too far down
The road of the future
But I'm looking now
'Cause you got me thinking
Of forever and always
The big and the small ways
You change the things I thought I knew
