I took a hammer, and a chisel iron cold,
  And had my dreams engraved on a mountaintop of stone.
  But the mountain crumbled my dreams in seas of blue;
  There's nothing in this world as forever as you.
  I touched the earth with a question in my hand,
  I asked two holy men to help me understand.
  But the preachers quarreled as to just what I should do;
  There's nothing in this world as forever as you.
  In these temporary days,
  You're my sole and saving grace,
  There is nothing in this world as forever as you.
