Earl Johnson wrote this heartbreaking love song as a celebration of the love of his life, Deb, his deceased partner who struggled with substance use and passed away all too young.
Lyrics
It’s been too long since I felt this good
I love you more than I think I should
Don’t wake me up if this dream is a lie
You lift me up when I’m falling down
Keep both my feet on the ground
You got my head spinning all of the time
I know this love is real
It’s just the way that I feel
Baby I want you to be forever mine
Forever mine
Let your love shine on me, forever mine
Don’t want to stand in your way
Or let our dreams slip away
Baby I just want to hold you every day
This world we live in is hard enough
All it takes is a little bit of love
To get you through when push comes to shove
I know this love is real
It’s just the way that I feel
Baby I want you to be forever mine
Forever mine
Let your love shine on me, forever mine
I waited so long for the day to come
I never knew I’d finally find someone
Someone like you
Someone like you
Now, I know this love is real
And baby I want you to be forever mine
Forever mine
Let your love shine on me, forever mine
Let your love shine on me
Let your love shine on me,
Forever mine
