Story Behind The Song
We just liked the title as a kind of fairy tale word that could be connected to a modern story.

Lyrics
EVERLASTING
She was a girl who lived in stories
Where the good guy stayed around
And the happy-ever-afters didn't melt
Like snowmen on the ground
They all disappeared, just like her dad
But things were different in a book she read
CHORUS
Everlasting
She could be the Princess Bride
Everlasting
Get on that white horse and ride
She could live for a while in a golden age
Until she turned that final page
On a world where love was?
Everlasting
Well I'm no knight in shining armor
But I've had dreams of my own
And I fell in love the moment we met
My heart had found a home
But her heart remained a mystery
Till she read that book to me...
BRIDGE
When we started page one, it was a simple dance
As we read the pages turned to romance
We shared all our stories and dreams
Of a love as magic as it seems
FINAL CHORUS
Everlasting
She would be my Princess Bride
Everlasting
Get on a white horse and ride
We could live forever in a golden age
Together we'd turn the final page
In a world where love would always be?
Everlasting
