Love Stays Forever, Sandra
A country-pop ballad about lasting love triumphing over temptation, told through the eyes of a confident wife reflecting on her wedding day and marriage.
LYRICS
[Verse]
Dining at the dinner table, glancing at my spouse.
Twenty years together in this same old house.
Does he still see me the very same way
As he did on our special wedding day?
[Chorus]
On June twenty fourth with skies full of clouds,
I donned my wedding dress.
Maid of honor saw to the milling crowd,
I’m nervous, I must confess
[Verse]
As his fork clangs on his plate, he smiles across at me,
My thoughts, I wonder, is he able to see?
After all these years he knows me inside out,
I know that he loves me, so what’s this doubt about?
[Bridge]
So stop the wondering, why am I insecure?
After all these years why stoke my fears…
Is he stuck in a borrowed living hell?
[Verse]
I truly hope my spouse is happy,
He’s decent through and through.
I know my words sound really sappy,
And he chose me, not you.
[Chorus]
Yes, Sandra, with your eyes so pretty…
I looked on you with so much pity.
I held on tightly to my man,
Like only a real woman can.
[Verse]
So bye bye Sandra, it’s my wedding day.
You’re far too young for my man.
So bye bye Sandra, it’s my wedding day.
Stop playing “catch him if you can.”
[Bridge]
That day is long gone. I’m still with my man.
[Verse]
I truly hope my spouse is happy,
He’s decent through and through.
I know my words sound really sappy,
And he chose me, not you.
[Outro]
That day is long gone, Sandra.
I’m still with my man.
[Instrumental Outro]
Bye bye Sandra… He’s still mine.

Just gotta say, this hits right in the feels. Been with my hubby for 25 years and it’s like you’re telling my story. Love that it shows how true love lasts. Great job, SupaBees!
Aww, that’s so sweet, MazieK! Hope to have what you have someday. 🌟
Interesting song, but don’t you think it’s a bit idealistic? Not all marriages last that long, and it’s not always so rosy. Wonder how this reflects on real-life relationships.
Love the storytelling in the lyrics, but why focus on Sandra? Seems like there’s a deeper story there. Any thoughts, SupaBees or anyone?
That’s an interesting point, Tara. It could symbolize the external challenges relationships face. Adds a layer of complexity to the song, doesn’t it?
