FOR NOW AND FOREVER LYRICS
1)For Now and Forever The day I left my childhood home Mamma looked me in the eye My Daddy spoke these words As he tried hard not to cry
He said “No matter where life takes you In this world so wide and wild You’ll always be our baby Always be our precious child”
Now I have children of my own And I want them to know They’re never alone
Chorus: For now and forever, for the children For now and forever, I set the dream free For now and forever, I keep it together For now and forever, they’re counting on me
I know a baby who loves me No matter what I’ll always be there I know a child who’s thinking of me We’ve got a life of love to share
Chorus: repeat chorus I’ve got the power within me No matter what I can work for the day When I’ll see my children’s children Take every step of the way, the way
Chorus: repeat chorus Now and forever We’re gonna keep that dream together They’re counting on me They’re counting on me

There’s lots of fun When one plus one equals two Me and you
Some things are better When you put them together Even though they’re good alone
Like the beach and the sun A hot dog and a bun Ice cream and a cone
The very same thing is true With us two Me and you

Of someone strong enough To stay here long enough to know That all I need to set me free Is someone to see me
See me, wondering what it’s all about Feel my little arms reaching out beyond the doubt
For someone strong enough To stay here long enough to know That all I need to set me free Is someone to see me
See me, I’m the forgotten part Feel me, take me in your loving arms Heal my heart
Be the someone strong enough To stay here long enough to know That all I need to set me free Is someone to see me

(kiss) I kiss your hand Then you kiss my hand too (kiss) Then put the kiss in a pocket To keep the whole day through
I keep a kiss in my pocket So I don’t feel sad or alone I keep a kiss in my pocket Until we’re both back home
When it’s you I miss I take the kiss And see you in my mind
I hold you there And forget my care And end up feeling fine
I keep a kiss in my pocket So I don’t feel sad or alone I keep a kiss in my pocket Until we’re both back home

I get angry Really angry But I don’t let the anger get me

Teach me to be careful Yet teach me to be bold Give me room to grow
Give me space to breathe, space to play Faith to believe in all that you say Give me the courage to make my own way Give me room to grow
Room to grow, room to grow Time to show how far I can go We all play a part, so from the heart I thank you for room to grow
So give me love and protection in all that you do But don’t try to make me just like you ‘Cause I’ve got my own special dreams to make true Give me room to grow
Room to grow, room to grow Time to show how far I can go We all play a part, so from the heart I thank you for room to grow

I might have to do it again and again 5-6-7-8-9-10 I might have to do it again and again But I’m going to find a way
I keep on working till I figure it out Figure it out, figure it out I keep on working till I figure it out I’m going to find a way
I might have to turn things inside out Inside out, inside out I might have to turn things inside out But I’m going to find a way
I keep on working till I figure it out Figure it out, figure it out I keep on working till I figure it out
I’m going to find a way

Living everyday from dawn to sunset Doing all the things we haven’t done yet That’s all I want to do Every time I look at you
Every time you look at me I feel the world as it grows Every time you look at me I want to see what you see, know what you know
Be the one to share your ups and downs with Be the one that’s there to smile and frown with That’s who I want to be Every time you look at me
Time after time I’m amazed at the ways You touch my heart and enlighten my mind Every minute that I’m in it I take pleasure at the treasure that you are
You’re so bright, you’re a light, you’re a star Head to toe, where you go, sure to know, you’ll go far
Every time I look at you I see a dream coming true Every time I look at you I know just what I want to do
In the rain and snow and dark of night and sunny day A hundred different places in a hundred different ways That’s all I want to do, every time I look at All I want to be, every time you’re with me All I want to do, every time I look at you

Although I know I make mistakes I promise I’ll do what it takes To walk beside you All along the way
I confess I don’t always know What’s always best to help you grow But with a heart full of love in control It’s going to be okay.
We’ll share the laughter, shed some tears I promise through the passing years I’ll walk beside you All along the way
And as you dream I feel a sweet release As if every missing puzzle peace Will someday find its place with ease All part of the whole
And as the light falls on your perfect face I feel covered over with love and grace Cozy in that forever place You traced on my soul
I kiss your cheek and as I’m turning I realize it’s me that’s learning As my love for you inside is burning Every doubt and fear away
Till it’s clear, it’s been you that’s teaching My promise is I’ll keep reaching To walk beside you All along the way
