Now & Forever

Jane Lee Yen Ling

1979 - 2006

Now and forever, you are a part of me
And the memory cuts like a knife
Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight
When you walked into my life

Now and forever, I will remember
All the promises still unbroken
And think about all the words between us
That never needed to be spoken

We had a moment, just one moment
That will last beyond a dream, beyond a lifetime
We are the lucky ones
Some people never get to do, all we got to do
Now and forever, we will always think of you

Didn't we come together, didn't we live together
Didn't we cry together, didn't we play together
Didn't we love together
And together we lit up the world

We miss the tears, we miss the laughter
We miss the day we met and all that followed after
Sometimes I wish that I could always be with you
The way we used to do

Now and forever, we will always think of you
Now and forever, we will always be with you
