LYRICS
I was a man who always
Played around in love
So quick to take
But so afraid to give enough
But now I’ve found the one
And Heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
And time can’t take away
I was a girl who trusted no one
With my heart and the dreams
That young girls dream
Were just vanishing in the dark
But now I’ve found the one
And Heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
They say
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
Now my touch belongs to you
And I will always be your best friend
Now my secrets are safe with you
And the magic will never end
Now you are the one
And Heaven will only know
What only our eyes can say
They say
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you, anyone else but you
That I will take you forever
(Oh yes I will, yes I will take you forever)
There will never be anyone else in my heart but you
(In my heart)
I will take you forever
(Yes I will)
There will never be anyone else but you
(Anyone else anyone else)
I will take you forever
(I will take you forever, I’ll take you forever)
There will never be anyone else in my heart but you
In my heart, I will take you forever
(I’ll take you forever)
there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
(Ohh yeah)
That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
ABOUT CHRISTOPHER CROSS
Christopher Cross burst onto the music scene with his 1979 self-titled debut album produced by Michael Omartian. The lead single “Ride Like The Wind” spent 4 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was quickly followed up by Cross’ most popular single to date (and first #1 hit) “Sailing”, which later became known as the archetype for the Yacht Rock genre. In 1981, Cross became the first artist in Grammy history to win the “Big Four” most prestigious awards in a single night; Record of the Year (for the single “Sailing”), Album of the Year, Song of the Year (also “Sailing”), and Best New Artist. Later that year Cross released “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer, Peter Allen, and was the title-theme for the 1981 film “Arthur” starring Dudley Moorre and Liza Minnelli. The song earned Cross his second #1 and the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards. Cross’ sophomore album “Another Page” was released in 1983 and featured the singles “Think of Laura” and “All Right”. Cross has sold over 10M albums worldwide and his songs have been covered and sampled by NSYNC, Puff Daddy, Avant, Shirley Bassey, Dione Warwick, and many more.

Frances Ruffelle won a Tony award for her portrayal of Eponine in Les Miserables. I was thrilled to record this duet with her, “I Will Take You Forever” for my album, “Back Of My Mind.”
