(BY PORTER WAGONER & FRANK DYCUS)

YOUR TREMBLING HANDS HELD ME NEAR
YOUR SOFT WARM LIPS WHISPERED IN MY EAR
YOU SAID YOU'D ALWAYS LOVE ME
AND WE'D ALWAYS BE TOGETHER
AND YOUR PROMISED ME YOUR LOVE WOULD LAST FOREVER

IS FOREVER LONGER THAN ALWAYS?
YOU'RE GONE FROM ME OW AND YOU HAVE BEEN FOR DAYS WHY YOU DIDN'T STAY
UNLESS FOREVER IS LONGER THAN ALWAYS

IS FOREVER LONGER THAN ALWAYS
YOU'RE GONE FROM ME NOW AND YOU HAVE BEEN FOR DAYS
AND IN MY MIND I CAN'T FING THE REASON WHY YOU DIDN'T STAY
UNLESS FOREVER IS LONGER THAN ALWAYS
IS FOREVER LONGER THAN ALWAYS.
