Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go? 
Only forever
If you care to know
Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task
Only forever
If someone should ask

How long would it take me
To be near if you beckon? 
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second

Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile? 
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild

Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go? 
Only forever
If you care to know

Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task
Only forever
If someone should ask

How long would it take me
To be near if you beckon? 
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile? 
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild
