(Ever, forever, ever, and ever, and ever)
(Ever, forever, ever, and ever, and ever)

There you are
Standing there reaching out for me
Something warm in your eyes
Touched my heart
And all the love I never knew
I found in you

Suddenly
My world, my life was standing still
And you touched my hand
I knew that we had laid a plan
For everlasting love
I'm forever dreaming of

At last, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
Made my lonely life a paradise
It came today
Forever came today

Ooh, look in my eyes and see how much I want ya
Feel my touch
You know how much I need ya
I may be young, but I'm old enough to know
A good thing
I will never let it go
Let this moment thrill me a lifetime
Make it last, make it last
Make it last forever

(Ever, forever, ever, and ever, and ever)
(Ever, forever, ever, and ever, and ever)

Darling
Ooh, my darling make me yours
As I touch your face
Tell me love has led me (Led me)
To this place
And your warm embrace

Thanks to you
Thanks to you my search has ended
And I want the world to see
How gently love has shined on me (Shined on me)
With everlasting love (Everlasting love)
That I been forever dreaming of

At last, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
Made my lonely life a paradise
It came today
Forever came today

Ooh, you give me love by the hour
Ooh, you're my precious little flower
Girl, you give me so much sweetness
Ooh, you give my life completeness
Make it last for more than just a day
Make it last for more than just an hour
Make it last forever

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
