[VERSE 1] One weekend Ray was a bit at loose ends Getting underfoot in Ella's kitchen again She shooed him out, said 'It's such a nice day Perhaps there's some yardwork you might do today' [VERSE 2] So he drove where they sold statuettes by the pound Saying 'If you want real art, go to Waynetown' He bought a smart cement rabbit standing on hind legs In a waiter's waistcoat and flourishing a tray [Chorus] And every morning she'd find On that small rabbit tray Secured with a stone So it would not blow away A note that said 'To my sweetheart' Or 'Happy birthday' 'Here's lookin at you kid' 'Forever, Ray' Forevеr, Ray [VERSE 3] Pleased with his plan, his idea grеw wings Every weekend he'd add another marvelous thing A sweet life sized angel, a Madonna and dog Andy Griffith and Jesus, Big Foot and groundhog [Chorus] And every morning she'd find On that small rabbit tray Secured with a stone So it would not blow away A note that said 'To my sweetheart' Or 'Happy birthday' 'Here's lookin at you kid' 'Forever, Ray' Forever, Ray [VERSE 4] Like autumn to winter, age shuffles in So they hired a boy to rake and to trim Every statue a touchstone, a memory to recall In the center the rabbit that started it all [VERSE 5] Like a watch that's been turned too often and long Ella and Ray began to wind down The springs and small gears had not lost their shine But simply could no longer hold on to time [Chorus] And every morning she places A note on the tray But without any stone Letting it blow away Down the street, on the air To land where they may Saying, 'I'll be your sweetheart' 'Forever, Ray' Forever, Ray
