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,

Offhand I would figure, less than a second.

Do you think I'll remember how you looked when you smiled,

Only forever, that's putting it mild.
