I’m swept away in this moment
I feel your heartbeat next to mine
My hands are trembling
It’s overwhelming

A whisper breaks through the silence
A vow to test the breadth of time
“Until forever, I’ll be forever yours”

Not just tonight
I’m by your side
For all your life

‘Til death comes between us
And the heavens steal you away
I’ll stay yours forever
Don’t you worry, don’t be afraid

The heart can shift like a shadow
The deepest passions start to wane
Stay ever tender
Never surrender

Come waltz with me through the twilight
And we will dance as seasons pass
We move together
I’ll be forever yours

So hold me tight
Say you’ll be mine
For all your life

Come what may

So all we have is this moment
But moments come and go so fast
Until forever
I’ll be forever yours

There is no other
I am forever yours

Behind the Song:
“I think this is probably the most unique, different song on this album—and maybe of any song that I’ve done. But I tell you this: Everybody that I play the record for, when this song comes on, at the end of it, they’ve lost their breath a little bit, like ‘Whoa, what was that.’ It’s not a typical, straight-up love song. It’s very artsy—“‘Til death comes between us/And the heavens steal you away’—just a great lyric, written by Michael Olsen, my drummer. It was one of the first lyrics written for the record. He wrote it to my melody. I said, ‘I’m gonna give you freedom to move a little bit, but try to stick to the melody as much as you can.’ I think 95% of the lyric is the first draft that I got. It blew me away.” - Michael W. Smith
