Forever Is A Long Long Time (Remastered 2004) - Horace Silver
Composed by：Horace Silver
Produced by：Francis Wolff
Forever is a long long time
We can't measure it in terms
Of time and space
But the spirit that is yours is eternal
Living on from race to race
And place to place
Forever is a long long time
And the spirit that is you will never die
For the spirit does not end with the body
It goes on to teach us how and who and why
It's so easy to see
Why we're despondent
What purpose does all our efforts have
If we believe that life ends with the body
Then our outlook will most certainly be drab
Forever is a long long time
And one body hardly seems enough to me
Just one lifetime to complete our desires
All our hopes and dreams of what
We'd like to be
Forever is a long long time
And our dreams will take us
Where we want to go
With the action
And the faith to propel them
Our progression should be anything but slow
Forever is a long long time
And before us lies a vast eternity
So don't worry if your plans are disrupted
For the spirit know
What's best for you and me
When we're planning the dreams
That we envision
We're anxious to see them come about
The spirit that's within will always guide us
If by prayer and faith
We rid ourself of doubt
Forever is a long long long time
And the time will come
When all desire's passed
When our bodies have fulfilled our ambitions
And we settle down to seek the spirit's task
And we settle down to seek the spirit's task
To seek the spirit's task
To seek the spirit's task
To seek the spirit's task
