Love You Forever

[00:00.06] "Hey, sweetheart, I'd love to talk to you"
[00:05.79] Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
[00:10.93] Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
[00:14.09] All good, feeling fine
[00:16.95] Clouds stay clear up in the nick of time
[00:19.57] Miracles, she'd always find
[00:22.41] Every year around Christmastime
[00:25.28] She can make my whole mood change
[00:28.07] Change so fast, I guess it could feel strange
[00:30.99] Even if I couldn't sleep
[00:33.81] You hold me tight and you would sing to me
[00:36.10] I love you
[00:37.52] As long as I'm alive, I'ma love you
[00:40.20] I like you always and forever
[00:43.06] 'Cause mama's always gonna love you
[00:46.92] My dear baby
[00:49.83] My sweet baby
[00:52.45] Nobody's gonna hurt you
[00:54.50] 'Cause mama's always gonna love you
[00:59.01] Always just me and you
[01:01.94] 'Til one day the boy grew and grew
[01:04.70] Trouble, I'd often brew
[01:07.34] Doing the stuff that you ain't want me to
[01:10.22] Late nights, I'd hide from you
[01:13.17] Funny somehow you still always knew
[01:16.01] Tiptoe, sneakin' past two
[01:18.83] Knock on your door and I would sing to you
[01:21.53] I love you
[01:23.13] As long as I'm alive, I'ma love you
[01:25.71] I like you always and forever
[01:28.34] 'Cause Gerald's always gonna love you, uh
[01:32.38] My dear mama
[01:34.90] My sweet mama
[01:37.58] Nobody's gonna hurt you
[01:39.88] 'Cause Gerald's always gonna love you
[01:44.25] Spent my last on you
[01:46.94] So you ain't have to worry when the rent was due
[01:49.89] Finally, my dreams came true
[01:52.64] Signed a record deal like I said I'd do
[01:55.51] Dream house, five bedrooms
[01:58.19] You cried when I handed the keys to you
[02:01.25] More that I'd make you proud
[02:03.92] Proud of the man that I had turned into
[02:06.82] Miss you, my heart's still bruised
[02:09.64] Where did you go? I'm still confused
[02:14.48] Yeah, wish you could've seen what
[02:17.14] Sometimes I wanna feel pain, sometimes the hurt is important
[02:19.98] Sometimes my heart feels whole, sometimes the hole is enormous
[02:22.84] Some mornings, I start to cry soon as I look at your portrait
[02:25.54] I make a French press important, sit back, try to enjoy it
[02:28.39] And I just, uh, think about ya
[02:31.79] Some days, my heart still feels like you broke it and tore it
[02:34.65] Like the rug's pulled from under me, I don't know where the floor went
[02:37.54] Some days I try to ignore it, somehow I'm not strong enough for it
[02:40.51] I know I'd have to write this, knew it'd be hard to record it
[02:43.33] Without breaking down in the moment
[02:46.26] When I gave up sobriety after you passed
[02:48.85] 'Cause it was harder on my own, hope you not mad at me for it?
[02:51.95] I'm not tryna place blame for what the relapse is over
[02:54.60] But when I look in the clouds and see that you're flying over
[02:57.36] Worried that you're upset with me, and you wish I was sober
[03:00.00] I'm finally being honest because it helps with the closure
[03:03.29] For the most part, I'm good though, my guardian angel
[03:05.96] But some days are hard, and it gets hard to stay stable
[03:08.98] I just want you to know that I'm doing fine
[03:11.57] And deep down inside, I'm still the same baby you cradled, yeah
[03:16.22] Yeah, deep down inside, I'm still the same baby you cradled, uh
[03:20.22] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:25.77] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[03:30.96] My dear mama
[03:33.64] My sweet mama
[03:36.26] Nobody's gonna hurt you
[03:38.61] 'Cause Gerald's always gonna love you
[03:54.36] "Hi Gerald, I just thought I'd call you to see how you're doing
[03:57.78] I'm sorry, passings are never easy
[04:02.76] And I had a long time with her, so I, you know, have my own set of sad feelings
[04:10.35] Anyway, um, I just thought I'd call you to see if I could talk to you
[04:14.83] But I will later, okay, so bye"
