Carrie Newcomer - Forever ray

One ^Gweekend Ray ^Cwas ^Ga ^Dbit at loose ends Getting ^Gunderfoot ^Cin ^GElla's ^Dkitchen again ^EmShe shooed him ^Dout, said “Its ^A7such a nice day^C Perhaps there's some ^Gyard work you ^Ammight ^Ddo to^Gday” ^{C G D}

So he ^Gdrove where they ^Csold ^Gstatu^Dettes by the pound Saying, “^GIf you want ^Creal ^Gart, ^Dgo to Waynetown" He bought a ^Emsmart cement ^Drabbit, stand^A7ing on hind ^Clegs In a waiter's waist^Gcoat and ^Amflou^Drishing a ^Gtray

And every ^Ammorning she'd ^Gfind, on that small rabbit ^Dtray Se^Amcured with a ^Gstone, so it would not blow a^Dway A note that ^Amsaid "To my ^Gsweetheart" or "happy birth^Dday" "Here's ^Emlooking at ^Dyou kid, ^A7Forever, Ray ^C Forever, ^GRay” ^{C G D}

^GPleased with his ^Cplan, ^Ghis ^Didea grew wings Every ^Gweekend he'd ^Cadd ^Ganother ^Dmarvellous thing A ^Emsweet life-sized ^Dangel, a Ma^A7donna and ^Cdog Andy Griffith and ^GJesus, Big^Amfoot ^Dand ground^Ghog

And every ^Ammorning she'd ^Gfind, on that small rabbit ^Dtray Se^Amcured with a ^Gstone, it would not blow a^Dway A note that ^Amsaid "To my ^Gsweetheart" or "happy birth^Dday" "Here's ^Emlooking at ^Dyou kid, ^A7Forever, Ray ^C Forever, ^GRay” ^{C G D}

Like ^Gautumn to ^Cwin^Gter, ^Dage shuffled in So they ^Ghired a ^Cboy ^Gto ^Drake and to trim Every ^Emstatue a ^Dtouchstone, a mem'^A7ry to re^Ccall In the centre the ^Grabbit that^Am star^Dted it ^Gall ^{C G D}

Like a ^Gwatch that's been ^Cturned ^Gtoo ^Doften and long ^GElla and ^CRay ^Gbe^Dgan to wind down The ^Emsprings and small ^Dgears had ^A7not lost their ^Cshine But simply could ^Gno longer^Am hold ^Don ^Gto time

And every ^Ammorning she ^Gplaces a note on the ^Dtray But with^Amout any ^Gstone, letting it blow a^Dway Down the ^Amstreet, on the ^Gair, to land where they ^Dmay Saying, “^EmI'll be your ^Dsweetheart ^A7forever, Ray ^C Forever ^GRay”
