And my dear, I love you
And I will keep loving you
Until the last leaf has fallen
And the flowers that grow
From your hands
Fade away
And I will love you
Until the clock cannot tick
Or tock
And when the waves
That sweep the ocean
Can wave no longer
When the last song has been sung
And the melody peters out
And the words
That spell out the book of us
Have been worn and smudged
So that no one understands them
Except you and I
Until the last grain of sand
Joins the ever-growing pile
And time will still
With the ghosts
Of our memories
And the hopes
Of our forgotten dreams
And even then
When all has been lost
Our love will live on
At peace for eternity
Standing still in a paradise
That exists only for us.
