"Forever" is a song by Kenny Loggins from his 1985 album, Vox Humana . It was released as the second single from the album, after "Vox Humana", and became another top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for Loggins. The song was originally written for a short film called Access All Areas produced by Jenny Sullivan (ex-wife of Jim Messina, Loggins' former bandmate in Loggins and Messina). Some of its success on the charts can be attributed to its use in the soap opera, The Young and the Restless . Loggins has often used the song to close out his live performances.
