I like the way the light falls today
Slow, too lazy for anything
I see boats that go sailin’ past me (But not too fast)
You know, I wish this day could keep on goin’ and last forever
Please don’t fool around with my happiness
I like the way the light falls today
Please just let it stay that way
Slow, easy, forever

About Lyrics and Forever by Fleetwood Mac

When you decide to study the lyrics to Forever, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1973 song by Fleetwood Mac. Some of the lyrics to Forever have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Fleetwood Mac 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 Fleetwood Mac. 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 Fleetwood Mac 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.
