Written in 12th Grade, “Forever” is a bittersweet bossa nova song about love and memory. It is from the perspective of an old woman who recalls her youth and the days spent with her love. However, she can only remember him when she hears their song, and when it’s over, she forgets him.

Lyrics:

I keep thinking of you

Of the time we spent together

Repeating in my head

Like a gentle wave, it lulls me

It's enough happiness for a lifetime

Memories may fade but our song plays forever

I remember the ocean

The starlight sparkling in your eyes

The soft sand on my skin

Nothing but your touch to warm me

Reminisce on that kiss in the moonlight

Never forget that our love is forever

When I am with you, all my fears flee

The ocean waves always remind me

Never forget that our love is forever

So when I'm thinking of you

I recall our chance encounter

The music and dancing

On that beach our sweet romancing

Let me stay in your arms in the moonlight

Memories may fade but our song plays forever

Forever, forever, forever
