[Intro]
(We have got forever, forever)

[Verse 1]
I will plant you a garden
Of laughter and tears
With rain and with sunshine
Love will grow through the years
The dream that we are dreaming
Have time to come true

[Chorus]
Because we have got forever
And forever is meant for so very few

[Bridge]
We shall have music
We shall have to rhyme
We shall have each other
One minute after the end of time

[Verse 2]
Then we will add up the pleasures
And treasure the sums
Caring is sharing
The cake and the crumbs
How lucky we are to be me and you

[Chorus]

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
