Forever Changed

She remembers the nights he'd come callin'

His yellow-silk tie in love she saw him

Fallin' for her in the fire of July

Then one day as the nights grew longer

Blackberry winter in a little white church

Stood a young pretty bride

Forever changed

Forever changed

Nothin' ever stays the same

Forever named, forever changed

She remembers the change in her body

The bloomin' within and how her heart

Seemed to flutter with the wind

Then one night as the days grew longer

That Indian summer she bought love into the world

Cried and held me then

Forever changed

Forever changed

Nothin' ever stays the same

Forever child, forever changed

Some days she'll talk about Aunt Rosie, the sister she lost

Askin' when she's comin' over, and why she hasn't called

Some days I just hold her fragile hand as time creeps across the floor

Some days it almost kills me watchin' her memories slip away

A little more

Forever changed

Forever changed

Nothin' ever stays the same

Forever named, forever child

Forever loved, forever

Changed
