I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside
I could lie to myself, but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes
Girl I'm out of my head over you
And I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't want to go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever - yeah!

Oooh
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
'Cause I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

Oooh
It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

Yeah

    General Comment:This song kicks A$$. But you know, I have heard people compare it to songs like "I'm A Believer" by the Monkees, though I would disagree to an extent. In songs like "I'm A Believer", the protagonist believes in love, just that he'll never have it because it's never worked out before. He knew he was lonely and wanted love, but rather had just given up.

    My take on "Forever" is that the narrator simply didn't believe in true love at all. Basically, he thought people just “loved” each other because they wanted too. "I lived my life believing all love is blind," says to me he saw love as something that wasn’t really real, rather an abstract idea people wanted badly enough that they would blind themselves (to the truth) for. This line can be taken other ways, but it is at least consistent with my thesis. Also take the line "when you're strong you can stand on your own," it says to me the narrator believed nobody actually needed love, rather it was something people made up as a crutch so they wouldn't have to be strong. Only now does the narrator understand, because he's found the one, a love, a union so true that it's part of the Lord's ultimate design.

    This song seems quite similar to what happened to me (possible bias? sure, but I still think my above analysis is correct). I wish my baby didn't live halfway around the world. Unrequited love sucks, but I still thinks its meant to be forever, so that will all work itself out in due time. God willing, I will definitely try to get this song played at my wedding :)

    General Comment:This song is the single greatest piece of evidence that KISS is just a corporation that has more to do with making money than making music. This song is heartless and contrived, but reflects the very generic power ballad formula which was popular at the time.

    Now, I actually like some KISS stuff in spite of how shallow it is, but this song was written with the same spirit with which WalMart buys products manufactured in China.
