Shania Twain – Forever And For Always (With Willie Nelson)

About the song

When we talk about artists who truly redefined country music and crossed over into global superstardom, Shania Twain stands in a league of her own. With her infectious energy, sharp songwriting, and undeniable charisma, she broke down barriers and brought a fresh, pop-infused sensibility to the genre. Her music often celebrates strength, independence, and heartfelt romance, always delivered with that signature blend of sass and sincerity. She resonated with millions by presenting themes that were both universal and deeply personal.

Among her many beloved hits, a song that beautifully encapsulates her romantic side is “Forever And For Always”. Released in 2003 from her highly successful Up! album, this track is a tender declaration of unwavering devotion. It’s a beautifully crafted ballad that speaks to the enduring nature of love, a theme that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the steady, comforting presence of a long-term relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of commitment that withstands the tests of time and change, a comforting thought in a world that often feels fleeting. The song’s gentle melody and heartfelt lyrics create an atmosphere of quiet assurance, making it a favorite for anniversaries and moments of personal reflection on lasting affection.

Now, while the original studio version of “Forever And For Always” is a classic in its own right, the mention of it being performed (With Willie Nelson) adds a truly special dimension. While there isn’t a widely released studio duet of this specific song by the two artists, Shania and Willie have shared the stage and performed together, and the idea of them tackling this tune is quite enchanting. Willie Nelson, the venerable outlaw, with his weathered voice and legendary presence, alongside Shania’s clear, passionate delivery, would create a unique dynamic. It would transform the song from a personal vow into a more universal testament to enduring love, viewed through the lens of a seasoned soul. For our discerning listeners, such a collaboration, whether a live performance or a conceptual pairing, would be a rich tapestry of voices and experiences, reinforcing the timeless message that true connection, indeed, lasts “forever and for always.” It speaks to the beauty of cross-generational collaboration and the shared human experience of finding and cherishing lasting love.

Lyrics

Mm, mm
Mm, in your arms
Oh
I can hear your heartbeat now
I can hear it beating loud

In your arms
I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain’t no way
I’m letting you go now
And there ain’t no way
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day

‘Cause I’m keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face
Always
Mm, baby

In your heart
I can still hear a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we’re apart, I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain’t no way (And there ain’t no way)
I’m letting you go now
And there ain’t no way (And there ain’t no way)
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day

‘Cause I’m keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face
Always

Oh, yeah
Wanna wake up every morning, yeah
Oh

In your eyes (I can still see the look of the one)
I can still see the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn’t put anything else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)

And there ain’t no way (And there ain’t no way)
I’m letting you go now
And there ain’t no way (And there ain’t no way)
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day

‘Cause I’m keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face
I’m keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face
I’m keeping you forever and for always

Oh
I’m keeping you forever
Got to keep you, baby
Oh, forever
In your arms
