-2  -5 -5  -5    -5  -5  -5    -5  -5*
For-ev-er once seemed a long, long time
 -2 -5*-5* -5 -5* -6
When I was on-ly five
-6   7    7    -7*-7*  -5*
And you weren't ev-en born
-5 -5*  -6  -6  -7  -7 -5
I'd go fish-ing ev-'ry day
-5   7  -6  -5*  -5 -5*  -5*
And get so tired of hear-ing
-5* -7  7   -6  7   -6
The old-er boys in love
-6    7    7   -7 -7* -5*
Who swore it's for-ev-er
 5   -3* -3 -3 -3* 4 -3*   -3*  -3*
When for-ev-er was a long, long time
 -5   -5 -5 -5   5  -5  -5*
Then when I was sev-en-teen
-2  -5*  -5*  -5  -5* -6
And you were still a kid
-6  7   7 7  -7* -5*
On grad-u-a-tion day 
-5* -6   -6   -7  -7   -5
I stood with tear-ful eyes
 -5  -5  7 -6  -5* -5  -5*
Writ-ing vi-o-lets are blue 
-5* -7 7   -6   7   -6
For-ev-er I'll love you
-6 -6   7    7  -7* -7*  -5*
To the girl who wore my shirt
  5   -3* -3 -3*  4   -5  -3*   -3*  -3*
Still for-ev-er seemed a long, long time
 -9 -9 -9  -7    -7    -7* -7* -7*  -5  -6
Then I met you, still love did-n't call me
-6  7   -7 -7*  8  8  -7*
A young man in par-a-dise
-9  -9   -9    -7
We were still young
-7  -7* -7*  7   -5    -6
But now for the first time
-6  7    7  7  -7   -7*  -7*
I said, fun-ny how time flies
