Kiss – Forever

About The Song

“Forever” is a power ballad by the American rock band Kiss. It was released as the second single from the 1989 album Hot in the Shade.
The song was co-written by Paul Stanley and Michael Bolton.

“Forever” begins with Stanley singing over an acoustic guitar intro, with the rest of the band joining during the first chorus.

The song was remixed at Electric Lady Recording Studios in New York, by Michael Barbiero and Steve Thompson for commercial release as a single. A music video was released to promote the song. It received heavy airplay on MTV, attaining the #1 position on the channel’s “Most Requested Videos” show several times. The clip is perhaps the most understated video Kiss has released, as it shows the band playing the song in an empty room.

“Forever” peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on April 21, 1990, making it the group’s first US Top 40 single since “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” reached number 11 in 1979. It was the band’s ninth and, to date, last Top 40 American single. It also reached number 17 on Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks on March 17, 1990.

Lyrics

I gotta tell you what I’m feeling inside
I could lie to myself, but it’s true
There’s no denying when I look in your eyes
Girl, I’m out of my head over you
And I lived so long believing all love is blind
But everything about you is telling me this time
It’s forever, this time I know
And there’s no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through
Girl, I’ll be loving you forever
I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you’re strong you can stand on your own
Those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don’t wanna go it alone
And I never thought I’d lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is telling me this time
It’s forever, this time I know
And there’s no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through
Girl, I’ll be loving you forever, yeah
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
‘Cause I lived my life believing all love is blind
But everything about you is telling me this time
It’s forever, this time I know
And there’s no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through
Girl, I’ll be loving you forever, oh
It’s forever, this time I know
And there’s no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through
Girl, I’ll be loving you forever
Yeah
