Say, I may be gone today
I may be goin' tomorrow
But do not fear
My darling, now I'm here
What are you saying, pray
What are you trying to tell me
You will stay here
Forever and a year

Say, can you see them there
Those darkened clouds in the distance
So close to you
We ought to go, my dear
What are you saying, pray
There's only bright skies about us
Just look away
Just turn the other way

A drop of rain, I swear
I felt upon my forehead
Why is it now?
I cannot wipe my brow
'Twas not a drop of rain
And now your hands, I am holdin'
It was a tear
Forever and a year

Forever and a year

Forever and a year
