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

2) Me and You
Me and you, us two
Doing the things we love to do
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

3) See Me
See me, always looking up to you
Feel my anxious eyes, trying to catch
the view
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

4) Someone to Talk to
Whenever I’ve got exciting news
I can always come and talk to you
I’ve got someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
I love the way you listen to me
You help me set my feelings free
I’ve got someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
Whenever I’m feeling sad and blue
You’re right there to help me through
I’ve got someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
So if you have some talking to do
I’ll be here to listen to you
You’ve got someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
I love the way you listen to me
You help me set my feelings free
I’ve got someone to talk to
Someone to talk to
So if you have some talking to do
I’ll be here to listen to you
You’ve got someone to talk to
Someone to talk to

5) I Keep a Kiss in My Pocket
When one of us has to go
And one of us has to stay
We say I love you
In a very special way
(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

7) I Get Angry
I get angry
I get angry
But I don’t let the anger get me
I get angry
Really angry
But I don’t let the anger get me
Whenever I get steamed up
I find a way to set the steam free
I get angry
I get angry
But I don’t let the anger get me

8) Room to Grow
Show me when to hold on
And when to let go
How to build something new
And still honor the old
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

9) 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 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

10) C-A-R-E
C-A-R-E, C-A-R-E
That's a four letter word for my family
I care for you, you care for me
How do you spell it? C-A-R-E
C- count on cooperation
A- available in all situations
R- right where we really wanna be
E- everyone ever lovingly
Caring for the big ones
Caring for the little ones
Care for everyone, everywhere until I find
I can spell it in my heart and spell it in my mind
C-A-R-E, C-A-R-E
Careful, careful with my baby

11) Every Time I Look at You
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
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

12) All Along the Way
Sometimes at night as I watch you sleeping
I wonder if I’m really keeping
All the words that I’ve been speaking
Do I live the things I say
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
