this could be forever lyrics

This could be forever
(The David Gates Songbook 2002)

I. 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...

Chorus:
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.

II. Cause when I think of loosing you I get,
Cloudy skies and start to rain.
Everyday there's one last thing that I'll never do with out 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.

Chorus:
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.
