As Forever As You

I took a hammer, and a chisel iron cold,

And had my dreams engraved on a mountaintop of stone.

But the mountain crumbled my dreams in seas of blue;

There's nothing in this world as forever as you.

I touched the earth with a question in my hand,

I asked two holy men to help me understand.

But the preachers quarreled as to just what I should do;

There's nothing in this world as forever as you.

In these temporary days,

You're my sole and saving grace,

There is nothing in this world as forever as you.
