I wrote this song when I was away from home working in rural British Columbia for most of a year. Events resulted in this cheery tune with a bitter message.

Forever Yours

1. When we first met, I thought you were my honey
Your loving arms kept me from the cold
But lately since you used up all my money
You never want to see me anymore.
Chorus:
Well, I call you on the telephone
but you don’t hear 'cause you're not home
Leave a message at the beep
But you never ever get back to me.
2.You told me we would be in love forever
A handsome couple when we're old and gray
But now it seems that you've found someone better
Another fool with lots more cash than brains.
3.Baby why I loved you is a mystery
But I'm better off now than I was before
From now on you're a part of my past history
And I'm never gonna open up that door.
Chorus (last):
Well, you can call me on the telephone
But I won't hear 'cause I'm not home
You can leave a message at the beep
But you'll never ever hear back from me, no
You'll never ever hear back from me, no
You'll never ever hear back from me.
