Michael Peterson – From Here To Eternity, is a song recorded by American country music artist Michael Peterson, who co-wrote the song with Robert Ellis Orrall. It was released in September 1997 as the second single from his first album, Michael Peterson, becoming his only number one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts that year.

Peterson claims that the single is a «pretty spiritual song» and that he wrote the song «about faith and it came out as a country song». It is set at a moderate tempo with a vocal range from D4 to A5. The song begins in the key of G major, and transposes a whole step upward to A major halfway through the final chorus.

Michael Peterson – From Here To Eternity Lyrics

I did everything I could
To get you here tonight
Without telling you why
Now girl if you only would
Just hold out you’re hand
And just close you’re eyes
I’ve been dying to ask you
One burning question
Will you be mine

From here to eternity
I’m asking you to
Share you’re life with me
Now and forever
I guarantee
That I’ll always stay by you’re side
I promise my love to you
I’m willing and able
And ready too
Whatever you need
I am here for you
And I’ll always be
From here to eternity

Well I saved a year for this ring
And I can’t wait to see
How it looks on you’re hand
Well I’ll give you everything
That one woman needs
From a one woman man
I’ll be strong
I’ll be tender
A man of my word
And I will be yours

From here to eternity
I’m asking you to
Share you’re life with me
Now and forever
I guarantee
That I’ll always stay by you’re side
I promise my love to you
I’m willing and able
And ready too
Whatever you need
I am here for you
And I’ll always be
From here to eternity

GENIUS
