When Love Is Forever

Ernie worked at the corner gas-station... in my little 
hometown
Had a heart of gold no formal education... must have been 
20 years old there about
Ernie had a smile and a eye for elie... home coming queen 
at '83
Elie had a thing for a football king... ernie didn't have a
 chance, so a diamond ring
Life let elie with a broken heart, ...and a baby in her 
arms
Ernie never gave up... hope for faith... that elie will 
love him someday

'coz ooh.. when love is forever
Ooh.. forever is worth to wait
Ooh.. when love is forever
You just keep keepin' on... keepin' the faith

Elie had a car and a baby seat she found out at the good 
book store
Ernie make sure they had enough to eat... he always left 
something at elie's door
Little by little elie saw the light in ernie's eyes
So she give him an invitation to a dance... she gave 
carnation at the other hand

Ooh.. when love is forever
Ooh.. forever is worth to wait
Ooh.. when love is forever
You just keep keepin' on... keepin' the faith

Now elie knows love in a brand new life
She and the baby kiss ernie goodnight
I don't think ernie ever had a doubt
How his love and his live could turn up

'coz ooh.. when love is forever
Ooh.. forever is worth to wait
Ooh.. when love is forever
You just keep keepin' on... keepin' the faith....
