Waiting for Forever
1
[Bell Clanging]
[Train Horn Blows]
[Man Narrating] If you ask me,
there's a moment in everybody's life
when you're helpless-
just helpless with hope and trust.
And here you go.
[Narrator] And then something happens-
something too big to understand-
and then everything changes forever.
If you ask me, you start out
with goodness so pure and clear,
you don't even know it's there,
because that's the way it is
when you don't know anything.
And then-
- [Loud Thud]
- The news begins to arrive.
[All Screaming]
WAITING FOR FOREVER
[Folk Rock]
[Man] Someday you will find me
- [Children Giggling]
- I haven't gone too far
I miss the way we were back then
- How we laughed
- [Children Laughing]
I can feel you in my heart
There's a world in your eyes
I can see it getting brighter
All the hours
that we turned into days
We were young
Seemed like life would go on,
last forever
All I had was you by my side
Emma.
[Man] Miss Twist?
You have to board now.
Thank you.
[Train Passing]
- [Children Giggling]
- Someday you'll answer
Remember how we were
[Train Passes]
When all our hopes and dreams
[Children Laughing, Chattering]
I can feel it in my heart
- [Children Laughing]
- [Dog Barking]
I can feel you in my heart
[No Audible Dialogue]
That's the way that it was
In the past you remember
When we ran
through the winds and the rain
We were young
Seemed like life would go on,
last forever
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
And now everything has changed
[Woman]
Why you still chewin' on that cigar?
Here. Put it down.
I-I got to hold on to something-
something in this life.
Oh, my goodness.
I just wanted to say thank you
very much for picking me up.
Well, you welcome, young man.
Honey, he only stopped
and picked you up to annoy me.
- No, to neutralize you.
- What?
My birthday cigar-
now that's meant to annoy you.
- Wait. Today's your birthday?
- Actually, it was yesterday.
- Sixty-two years old.
- Well, happy birthday.
Sit back.
Dorothy and me- we like to drive
straight through the night.
Ain't that right, Dorothy?
Yes, baby. That's right.
Give me this nasty thing.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Could you take me to the Carlton,
please?
- You got it.
- Thank you.
- [Man] You married?
- Not officially.
But l'll tell you the truth,
I might as well be.
- You got a girlfriend then?
- I certainly do.
That's why I'm going back
to Pennsylvania.
I'm going back to the place
where we both were born.
- Her name is Emma.
- Emma.
Emma!
So how long have you and Emma
been together?
Oh. Well, what exactly
do you mean by "together"?
Well, together- a couple. Couple.
Well, I- I guess
I'd have to say forever, sir.
I mean, I-
We went to school until I was 10.
That's probably more what you mean.
And then I, um, moved away.
So you and Emma live together now
in Pennsylvania?
No, no. She's mostly in California,
but her dad is sick, I hear,
so she's-
- You-You hear?
- Pardon?
- You hear her dad is sick.
- No. My friend told me.
- My best friend Joey-
- Wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no.
Just- Just a moment now.
Maybe it's none of your business,
Albert.
- Dorothy!
- No. You leave that boy alone.
Dry up now.
Goodness.
Stop that. If you don't stop-
Stop that!
[Laughing]
Doggone you!
- You hound dog.
- [Laughing]
Silly man.
Here you go.
Hey. You know, I know this
may sound like a line, but...
aren't you that girl on the TV show?
You look just like this chick that's
on this TV show that my wife watches.
