When love is new and the world is outreaching for you

^ We try hard to hold it all in our hands But it slips through like soft drifting sands^

But drying the tears can build it all like new

Now and forever, remember [ the] words from my heart will always be true

Now and forever, together [ and] all that I feel is my love for you

Learning each day that the right time [ was] so far away

^ To tell you the things I knew, now it's clear

^ That the moment we searched^ for is here ^ And counting [ the] years^ is all I want to do

Now and forever,^ remember [ the] words from my heart will always be true

Now and forever,^ together [ and] all that I feel is my love for you

Hold me as close [ as] love will allow until all your fears are gone

What [ has] all passed ^ is over now ^ I'm here with you, I'm here with you

^ I'm holding on, ^ I'm [ holding] on

[ Now] and forever, ^ remember the words from my heart will always be true

Now and forever, together [ and] all that I feel is my love for you

Now and forever, remember the words from my heart will always be [ true]

Now and forever, [ together] and all that I feel is my love for ^ you

Now and forever, together and all that I feel is my love for you
