Could Be Forever (Prof. Stranger Remix)

Hold the elevator for the older

I live three floors up, he's one over

First order of business

How's the knees, sir, how the missus?

Hard on the bend, my lad, but they still go the distance

Nobody tell you true love comes with a cost

My darling has the wanderlust

Itchy feet her head's gone soft

Goes for a little wander gets lost

Phone on standby

But will she remember to call

She saw our eldest daughter

Her face she couldn't recall

The leaves fell harder that autumn

But every so often, she returns

Her face alight with a smile

She takes my hand, says I might be gone for a while

When will you go, I ask her, when will you come back

(Any moment now)

She takes my hands she holds them warm

(Maybe tomorrow)

She pulls me in and holds me close

(Could be forever, yeah)

How long we stay like that, who knows

(Could be forever, yeah)

How long we stay like that, who knows

Always show love to the elders

Whether they're your parents, aunts or toilet attendants

Last one in particular

We met some-time one cold December

At hootenanny's corner where he laid out his wares

Colognes, Chupa Chups and Trojans if you dare

He's from in my hometown, Benin City

And over there, my man's a dentist

Here in London

Got no papers to make real paper

And ends need meeting

Every hour I give some cheer

All I get cold pity, sneers and jeers

But that's ok, 'cause in my mind, sky's all clear

I'm holding hands with all my daughters

New school uniform looking gorgeous

Some drunken random asks when you going back?

My eldest asks when I'm coming home

(Any moment now)

(Maybe tomorrow)

(Could be forever, yeah)

(Could be forever, yeah)

(Any moment now)

She takes my hands she holds them warm

(Maybe tomorrow)

She pulls me in and holds me close

(Could be forever, yeah)

How long we stay like that, who knows

(Could be forever, yeah)

How long we stay like that, who knows

(Could be forever)

(Could be forever)
