AS THE YEARS GO BY

A child asks his mother, do you love me And it really means will you protect me His mother answers him, I love you And it really means you've been a good boy And as the years go by True love will never die At 17 his girl says, do you love me And it really means will you respect me The teenage boy answers, I love you And it really means can I make love to you And as the years go by True love will never die I will love you, forever I will love you, forever At 65 his wife says, do you love me And it means I'd like to hear it again Her husband says to her, I love you But it really means I'll love you to the end And as the years go by True love will never die Now you're asking me if I love you And it really means will I marry you And I answer yes, I love you But it really means that I won't be untrue And as the years go by True love will never die I will love you, forever I will love you, forever
