Joe Cocker Forever Changed lyrics

{Verse 1}
Close your eyes and visualize
That day in spring, the moment when I met you
From the start down in my heart
I knew for sure I never would forget you

{Chorus}
Now I see what I used to be
I'll never be again
I remain forever changed

{Verse 2}
You touched my hand and life began
As I stood there staring at the manger
Time stood still when you revealed
That tender smile to a perfect stranger

{Chorus}
Now I see what I used to be
I'll never be again
I remain forever changed


{Bridge}
You took hold of a wandering soul
And gave this heart a home
All that's left of the man I knew
Thanks to you is gone

{Verse 3}
All these years and you're still here
Like a rock standing by and steady
For what its worth when I leave this earth
Because of you I know that I'll be ready

{Chorus}
Now I see what I used to be
I'll never be again
I remain forever changed
I remain forever changed
Forever changed
