[Intro — spoken, breathy over minimal keys]
2AM and your heartbeat is my hymn — close to my ear, close to my skin.
(Soft ad-lib motif: "Forever...")
[Verse 1]
You fold the night around my shoulders like satin, slow and sure,
Your breath warms the back of my neck — the kind of safety I adore.
Coffee cools on the counter, moonlight paints your jawline gold,
When you laugh, the whole world leans in; I forget the years I told.
[Pre-Chorus]
You are the pull beneath my ribs, the compass in my sleep,
Every secret curve of you, a promise I keep.
I’ve chased a thousand dawns to learn how to belong —
Now every road that led me here sings the same song.
[Chorus]
I’ll love you forever — ’til the city sleeps and the stars run dry (Forever)
No tide, no time, no midnight sky could ever wash us from the light (Forever)
You mean everything, my pulse, my reason, my first and last reply —
I’ll love you forever; nothing will stop me, nothing will stop me now.
[Verse 2]
Your fingertips trace cartography on the places I won’t show,
Whispered confessions like rain — your name lands soft and slow.
There’s cedar on your jacket, the kind of scent I keep on my skin,
You move like a poem I learned by heart, the stanza I’m always in.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I keep the small things like prayers — the text, the look, the light,
The way you cup my mornings like fragile glass and hold them tight.
I promised silence once, but silence turned to proof:
Your laugh inside the empty room, the tether of your truth.
[Chorus — Variation]
I’ll love you forever — ’til the city sleeps and the stars run dry (Forever)
No force on earth could pry this tide that keeps you close to mine (Forever)
You mean everything — my compass, crossing every sky and line —
I’ll love you forever; nothing will stop me, nothing will stop me now.
(Brief counterline: "I hear you breathe my name")
[Bridge — sultry, building]
No wind, no distance, no night, no ocean wide,
No doubt, no shadow — I will find you on the other side.
Slow like satin, fierce like summer rain, I swear by every stolen hour,
I’ll climb every quiet mountain to keep you in my power.
(Spoken whisper) Close your eyes — I’ll be the hand that never leaves.
[Breakdown — intimate ad-libs over sparse beat]
(Forever...) Ah — forever, ooh
Skin to skin, breath to breath, slow and hollow then electric.
(Soft spoken) Your name on my lips like a prayer that tastes like rain.
[Final Chorus — lifted, harmonies stacked, higher key]
I’ll love you forever — ’til the city sleeps and the stars run dry (Forever, forever)
No tide, no time, no midnight sky could ever steal this light (No, no)
You mean everything, my heartbeat hymn, my reason and my rite —
I’ll love you forever; nothing will stop me, nothing will stop me now.
[Outro — cinematic tag, fade with motif]
Forever — I’m yours, forever — I’m yours, (soft ad-lib: "Forever")
So here I stand, pouring out my heart: forever yours, forever true.
(Final whispered) Nothing will stop me.
