She stepped out of the Taxi, with a suitcase in her hand
And a hand bag too full for her to hold
I felt her body tremble as I took her in my arms
And she whispered, don't ever let me go.

Chorus:
Then I watched her hang her dresses up and close the closet door
And I watched her put her satin things away
Somehow now I know she won't be leaving anymore
I do believe forever's here to stay.

— Instrumental —

It's good to hear her foot steps just walking down the hall
Lord, I wondered would I hear those sounds again
We're picking up the pieces and putting away the past
We've got a lot of broken dreams to mend.

Chorus:
I watched her hang her dresses up and close the closet door
And I watched her put her satin things away
Somehow now I know she won't be leaving anymore
I do believe forever's here to stay.

I do believe forever's here to stay…
