(C) She stepped out of the Taxi, with (F) a suitcase 
     in her hand.  And a (C) hand bag to full for her to 
     (G7) hold.  I (C) felt her body tremble as I (F) took 
     her in my arms.  And she (C) whispered, don't (G7) 
     ever let me (C) go. 
 
     CHORUS:  The I (F) watched her hang her dresses up and 
     (C) close the closet door.  And I (F) watched her put 
     her (C) satin things (G7) away.  (C) Some how now I know 
     she won't be (F) leaving anymore.  (C) I do believe 
     (G7) forever's here to (C) stay. 
 
     (C) It's good to hear her foot steps just (F) walking 
     down the hall.  Lord, I (C) wondered would I hear those 
     sounds (G7) again.  We're (C) picking up the pieces, and 
     (F) putting away the past.  We've (C) got a lot of 
     (G7) broken dreams to (C) mend.  (repeat Chorus:) 
 
     LAST:  I do believe (G7) forever's here to (C) stay.
