If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I’d talk forever (together my love)
I ask the sky just what we had
Mmm It shone forever (together my love my my my my my my my my my my my my my)
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I’d sing forever (together my love my my my my)
Forever
Forever
I’ve been so happy loving you

Do do do do do do do do do together my love

Let the love I have for you
Live in your heart
And beat forever (together my love)
Forever

Baby just let me sing it my baby

Oh oh oh oh

So I’m goin’ away
Mmm but not forever
Na na na na

About Lyrics and Forever by Beach Boys

When you decide to study the lyrics to Forever, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1970 song by Beach Boys. Some of the lyrics to Forever have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Beach Boys and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Forever if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Forever" means the words set to the music of Forever, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Beach Boys. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Forever and the lyrics to Forever are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Beach Boys who came here looking just for the lyrics to Forever, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
