The Song
"Everlasting Love" is a song written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, originally a 1967 hit for Robert Knight and since remade numerous times, most successfully by the Love Affair, as well as Town Criers, Carl Carlton, Sandra, and Gloria Estefan. The original version of "Everlasting Love" was recorded by Knight in Nashville, with Cason and Gayden aiming to produce it in a Motown style reminiscent of the Four Tops and the Temptations. When released as a single, the song reached No. 13 on the US chart in 1967. Subsequently, the song has reached the US Top 40 three times, most successfully as performed by Carl Carlton, peaking at No. 6 in 1974, with more moderate success by the duo Rex Smith and Rachel Sweet (No. 32 in 1981) and Gloria Estefan (No. 27 in 1995).

Lyrics
Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go
I went away, just when you, you needed me so
Filled with regret, I come back begging you
Won't you forget, welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize
Here I stand with my, everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Be a lasting part of everlasting love

(Need a love to last forever)
(Need a love to last forever)

Where life's river flows, no one really knows
Till someone's there to show the way to lasting love
Like the sun shines, endlessly it shines
You always will be mine, it's eternal love
When other's love-light's gone, ours will still be strong
We'll have our very own, everlasting love

(Real love to last forever)
(Real love to last forever)

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize
Here I stand with my, everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Be a lasting part of everlasting love
When other's love-light's gone, ours will still be strong
We'll have our very own, everlasting love
