Once on This Island the Musical - Forever Yours Lyrics

(Music by Stephen Flaherty and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens)

[TI MOUNE]
Sure as a wave
Needs to be near the shore
You are the one
I was intended for
Deep in your eyes
I saw the god's design
Now my life is forever yours
And you are mine
I am a tree
Holding away the storm
Here in my arms
I'll keep you safe and warm
Even the gods
Won't dare to cross this line
Where my life is forever yours

[TI MOUNE]
And you are mine

[DANIEL]
And you are mine

[BOTH]
Mine...
We'll race away in a car
As silver as the moon
And the storn will turn to sun
On an island where the earth and sea
Are one...
Sure as the night
Leasds to a sky of blue
Sure as my heart
Leads me to be with you
Surely the gods
Meant this to be
A sign
That my life is
Forever yours
And you are mine

[PAPA GE]
Mine!

[PAPA GE]
Mine!
Arrogant fool
Think you can hold back death!

[TI MOUNE]
Stay Away!

[PAPA GE]
This boy is mine
I am his dying breath

[TI MOUNE]
I won't let you have him!

[PAPA GE]
Sure as the grave
You must accept what is
Now his life is forever mine...

[TI MOUNE]
Take mine for his!

[PAPA GE]
What?

[TI MOUNE]
Take my life...
My soul... for his

[PAPA GE]
I am the road
Leading to
No return

[TI MOUNE]
I would die for him!

[PAPA GE]
Secret of life
Nobody wants to
Learn
I am the car
Racing toward
Distant shores

[TI MOUNE]
Now his life is forever mine...

[PAPA GE]
Your life is forever mine...

[TI MOUNE]
And I am yours

[STORYTELLERS]
Hmmm

[Thanks to Dani Starr for lyrics]
