I promise you that forever
I will be in love with you.
My love will stand up to whatever
Kind of test you put it through.
If you can’t give me forever,
I’ll be happy with today.
Just as long as we’re together
So I can love you anyway.
When I told you that I love you,
I expected no reply,
For it happened all so quickly,
And I can’t explain just why.
I meant every word I said,
And I know the way I feel.
So when I tell you that I love you,
Please believe me that it’s real.
You say it seems as if forever
Is more than I can guarantee,
But I’m so sure of what I’m feeling.
So darling, put your trust in me.
I’m not giving you the burden
Of deciding here and now.
If you can’t love me forever,
I will love you anyhow.
