If ever you ask how long I'll love you,
How long I'll be honest, faithful and true;
How long I'll keep this love that we treasure,
The answer is simple: now and forever.
But the words now and forever are easily said.
I might as well say 'till the day I am dead;
There are no words that could possibly show
That now that I have you, I'll never let go.
This love that I have could never stray,
As long as I live, we won't see that day;
If ever the stars all fall out of the sky,
That will be the day our love can die.
A time when the sun will never again show,
That is the time when I could let go;
When all of the oceans and rivers run dry,
That is the day when we might say good-bye.
Until I see those impossible things,
Like pigs suddenly sprouting fresh wings;
This love of mine belongs to you,
This heart of mine will always stay true.
When this world stops spinning around,
Once every fish suffocates and drowns;
How long will we be stuck together?
The answer is simple: now and forever.
