MONOLOGUE: I'll be loving you, babe, only always. With a real crazy love that's
true always. When these dreams that you've planned.. need a little helpin' hand,
well, say, honey, I'll understand always. Yeah, always! 'cause things may not be
fair, always. But that's exactly when I'm gonna be true always. Not for just sixty
minutes, not for twenty-four hours, not even for a whole darned YEAR, three
hundred and sixty-five days, but I mean always!!
Things may not be fair always
That's when I'll be there always
Not for just an hour
And not for just a day
Not for just a year but always
The lyrics of "Always" by The Ink Spots express an enduring and unconditional love that will last forever. The singer is saying that they will love their partner always, even when things are difficult or not fair. The use of repetition in the chorus emphasizes the unwavering nature of this love. Furthermore, they highlight the level of commitment by specifying that their love is not just for a short period of time but for eternity. The singer acknowledges that sometimes their partner may need help achieving their dreams, but they assure them they will always be there to support them.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of steadfastness and devotion, portraying how true love should be. The use of simple lyrics and a slow-paced melody adds to the sentimental nature of the song, making it suitable for slow dances or as a love ballad. It's a song that encompasses love throughout time, and when "forever" does not seem like an intimidating notion.
