This Could Be Forever

(album: The David Gates Songbook - A Lifetime Of Music - 2002)

I can't say for sure it's you, but
You're the closest I've ever been to.
If we wait a little bit longer, we'll see if it gets stronger.

'Cause, wouldn't wanna hurt you girl or say,
Any words I could not mean
We've got a chance it's something' so real
It's so good, I just gotta' feel

This could be forever God I've been thinking never
Have I ever been so close to love?
I don't even know if I would know it,
But I think my tears will show it.

When I think of losing you, I get
Cloudy skies and start to rain.
Everyday there's one last thing that I'll never do without you.
So if I hold you so carefully it's 'cause
I can't let you get away from me
No more waiting to see if I'm wrong, 'cause
Here with me, it's where you belong.

This could be forever God I've been thinking never
Have I ever been so close to love?
I don't even know if I would know it,
But I think my tears will show it.

This could be forever God I've been thinking never
Have I ever been so close to love?
This could be forever God I've been thinking never
Have I ever been so close to love?
This could be forever God I've been thinking never
Have I ever been so close to love?
This could be forever God I've been thinking never
Have I ever been so close to love?
