"Now and Forever (You and Me)" is a hit song written by David Foster, Randy Goodrum and Jim Vallance and recorded by Canadian country music artist Anne Murray. It was aided by a popular music video, filmed in Toronto. The back-up vocal was sung by Richard Page, lead singer for the Pop group Mr. Mister.

It was released in January 1986 as the first single from the Gold-certified album Something to Talk About. The cut was Murray's tenth and, so far, final #1 hit on the U.S. Country singles chart and spent six weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It remained for a total of nineteen weeks on the Billboard Country chart.[2] (This was Murray's final 45 to cross over to the U.S. 'Pop' chart.)
