[Intro] Two children beneath the same May sky Two days apart, but worlds away Under those constellations I was slowly finding you [Verse 1] Of all the places I could meet you it happened in a room of goodbye Then you gave me that smile and somehow there was light inside Life pulled us apart, then back again until December brought you near You didn't want what I could give you You wanted me [Chorus] Forever and evers that's what we used to say Through every turn beneath the stars I loved you then I love you still Forever and evers [Verse 2] You came closer and made a home Then two little lines upon the dresser I'm going to be a daddy God, I nearly lost my feet Then you asked if I would marry you You said yes So I said yes too Two Geminis beneath the same May sky only two days between our birth Underneath that gazebo I lost the words staring at my queen [Verse 3] Then October brought our rainbow Zelena Joyce, so small and perfect You Her Us Family Kissed by fire with that redheaded spark Chocolate milk, Dean Koontz after dark Coffee, gel pens, Supernatural Chinese food made your way Stars, nebulas, constellations You weren't some perfect angel You were better You were Jess [Bridge] Then came a year when you had to fight And you fought God, you fought Every weekend Zelena and I drove until you finally came back home Mom was home We were together I wanted it to last [Break] March twenty-eighth I woke and the house felt wrong I went looking for my wife And in one moment the world became before and after [Final Verse] I found an urn filled with the cosmos because nothing else could have been you A Viking compass holding part of you still rests against my chest On your birthday we order Chinese food Your favorites on the table and one plate waiting there Because love doesn't stop setting places just because there's an empty chair [Final Chorus] Forever and evers that's what we used to say Now I understand those words in a different way Forever isn't every year we thought we'd have together Sometimes forever means keeping the promise when one heart carries both forever You're in our daughter You're in the life I learned to make I loved you then I love you still I am yours You are mine Forever and evers [Outro] Sometimes I look into the night and wonder which light might be you Flying somewhere through the cosmos like you always wanted to I wish I could hold you kiss you, see that smile again Tell you about Zelena and where we've been When my own road reaches its ending I'll have your compass showing how Save that smile for me, sweetheart I'll find my way back home I love you Forever and evers
