Only forever
Crosby Bing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.

My parents were married in 1940 and this was their song. We had ‘Only Forever’ engraved on their headstone.
