I’ll Love You Forever

8:55, it's almost 9
Waiting on a runway but my head's already in the sky
Staring out the window of this big jet plane, heading out west to LA
Chasing dreams that this town won't let me achieve

I take a deep breath, count to three inaudibly
Just loud enough that the little girl to my right hears me
It's past her bedtime and her mom wants her to sleep
So she reads

I'll love you forever and I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be
I'll love you forever and I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be, you'll be

Finally flying free but I long to be right back where I just left
I can't look back, I've got to focus on my dreams and what's all ahead
Flashback to momma singing to me that sweetest melody, after she would read
The same familiar lullaby I hear and I know she's always with me

I'll love you forever and I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be
I'll love you forever and I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be

You held me tight taught me to live and everything I know
Taught me the Lord's love and your own love and how I'll never be alone
You kept me grounded in what's right when I fell into wrong
I'll always be your little girl, and I'll

Love you forever and I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be
I'll love you forever and I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be
