I Will
Robin Lee Berry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered

I will always feel the same

I love you forever and forever
I love you with all my heart
I love you whenever we're together
I love you when we're apart

When at last I find you
This song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know, I will

I love you forever and forever
I love you with all my heart
I love you whenever we're together
I love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
This song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know, I will
You better know by now
Oh, you know, I will

I'll let it show right now
Oh, you know, I will
