Michael Martin Murphey - What's Forever For? Lyrics

I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times;
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds;

Maybe it's me that's gone crazy,
Cause I can't figure out why;
All these lovers keep hurting each other,
When good love is so hard to come by;

[Chorus:]
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me
What's forever for?

I've been listening to people
And they say love is the key;
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray;
It's only that I want to believe;

[Chorus]

I see love hungry people tryin' their best to survive,
While in their head they dream of romance,
If they can keep it alive;

So, what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me
What's forever for?
