Evermore Lyrics

By Neil Diamond
From 12 Songs
This song is set up kind of weird. There are two different styles of verses (different
based on music). The numbered verses account for one set of chords and overall soun
and the lettered verses account for the second set of chords. Listen to the song;
you'll see what I mean. Comments and corrections welcomed.
Have we come this far, to have gone astray
I've been lost before, but not lost this way
You and me thought we'd be evermore
Verse A
Do I know you, did I ever
Thought I did, now I know better
Saw the signs but not the danger
How'd you get to be a stranger at my door?
Verse B
Promises got left behind and
Reason fell between the lines
The words unsaid we should have spoken
Both misled and left us broken evermore
Have we said it all, is there more to say
Thought we'd paid our dues, is there more to pay
What's to be of you and me evermore?
Verse C
Was it love or just illusion?
All I see is our confusion
Came upon us unsuspecting
Here we are reflecting on the last of it
If you think of me, in a year or two
Find that photograph showing me with you
What you see, is what should be evermore
Why?
Tell me why
Don't know why
Oh, why?
Verse D
Where's the truth we took for granted
Walking out's not how we planned it
Played it loose but stayed together
Thought we had the truth but never knew the score
If it's done for now, and it's time to go
There's one thing unsaid, thought you'd want to know
Love you still, guess I will, evermore
Love you still, guess I will, evermore
