[Verse 1]
I've been looking at people and how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people

And they're not even trying to keep it alive

So, what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me what's forever For?
Michael Martin Murphey released What’s Forever For on Fri Jan 01 1982.
