In an old, discarded box filled with treasures
Not of gold or silver or the rarest pearl
Just a simple charm engraved "October '45"
And on the back the simple phrase
"Forever and a Day"
Forever and a day
My love will last a lifetime
And, darling, come what may
I'll be forever yours
Forever and a day
'Til eternity has ended
Just a simple phrase
Carried me away
Forever and a day
I thought of him as he purchased carefully
Just the right gift to show her how he felt
And just in case he never made it home
She'd always know
By the message he engraved
"Forever and a Day"
Forever and a day
My love will last a lifetime
And, darling, come what may
I'll be forever yours
Forever and a day
'Til eternity has ended
Just a simple phrase
Carried me away
Forever and a day
Just a simple phrase
Carried me away
