She remembers the nights he'd come calling
His yellow-silk tie
In love she saw him falling for her in the fire of July
Then one day as the nights grew longer
Blackberry winter in a little white church
Stood a young pretty bride
Forever chaaaaaanged
Forever chaaaaaanged
Nothing ever stays the saaaaaaame
Forever named
Forever changed
She remembers the change in her body
The blooming within
And how her heart seemed to flutter with the wind
Then one night as the days grew longer
That Indian summer
She brought love into the world
Cried and held me then
Forever chaaaaaanged
Forever chaaaaaanged
Nothing ever stays the saaaaaaame
Forever child
Forever changed
Somedays she'll talk about aunt Rosie
The sister she lost
Asking when she's coming over
And why she hasn't called
Somedays I just hold her fragile hand
As Tom crawls across the floor
Somedays it just kills me
Watching her memories slip away a little more
Forever chaaaaaanged
Forever chaaaaaanged
Nothing ever stays the saaaaaaame
Forever named
Forever child
Forever changed
