🎤 **[Verse 1 – Light and Lively]**

| A | D | E | A |

[A] Skies were grey, but you came through,

[D] A ray of gold, now I see blue.

[E] You bring the beat to every day,

[A] Girl, you make my troubles sway.

| A | D | E | A |

[A] Coffee cups and Sunday shoes,

[D] You got the smile that shakes my blues.

[E] Never needed more than this—

[A] Just your hand, just your kiss.

🎶 **[Chorus – Horns Shine, Big Harmonies]**

| D | A | E | A |

[D] Forever with you—yeah, that’s the song,

[A] You’ve been my rhythm all along.

[E] Steady like the skankin’ beat,

[A] You make my heart feel light and sweet.

| D | A | E | A |

[D] Love like this don’t fade away,

[A] We keep on dancin’ come what may.

[E] Skies turn gold, and love feels new—

[A] I’m forever... forever with you!

🎤 **[Verse 2 – Soul-Ska Everyday Love]**

| A | D | E | A |

[A] We take the train, we walk the street,

[D] But it’s a party when we meet.

[E] Your laugh’s a trumpet in my mind,

[A] With you, I leave my cares behind.

| A | D | E | A |

[A] In every shop, in every song,

[D] I find your love, it plays along.

[E] Ain’t no stage or grand parade—

[A] Just this love we never trade.

🎶 **[Chorus 2 – Bigger Brass, Call & Response BVs]**

| D | A | E | A |

[D] Forever with you—my sweetest line,

[A] I’ll sing it loud, I’ll make it mine.

[E] You keep the beat, you hold me true,

[A] There’s nothing else I’d rather do.

| D | A | E | A |

[D] Side by side through thick and thin,

[A] We’re soul and ska on vinyl spin.

[E] Skies turn gold, and hearts renew—

[A] I’m forever... forever with you!

🎷 **[Bridge – Sax Lead, Hammond Echo]**

| Bm | E | A | F#m |

[Bm] Don’t need riches, don’t need fame,

[E] I found joy just in your name.

[A] We got rhythm, we got grace,

[F#m] We two-step time in our own space.

| Bm | E | A | A |

[Bm] When the needle hits the groove,

[E] You're the one I always choose...

🎶 **[Final Chorus – Key Change to B Major]**

| E | B | F# | B |

[E] Forever with you, forever true,

[B] I’ll sing it bold, just me and you.

[F#] When brass is loud and night turns blue,

[B] I’m still skankin’—forever with you.

| E | B | F# | B |

[E] Let the horns blow, let love play on,

[B] Our record’s here, the groove is strong.
