How Long Will I Love You
Timeless Love Under Starlit Skies
Lyrics
How long will I love you
Expressing a commitment to love someone.
As long as there are stars above you
Commitment to love enduringly, likened to the timeless presence of stars.
And longer if I can
Willingness to extend love for as long as possible.
How long will I need you
Commitment to being needed, paralleled with the necessity of seasons.
As long as the seasons need to
Duration of needing, aligned with the cyclical nature of seasons.
Follow their plan
Acceptance of following the natural course of events and plans.
How long will I be with you
Promise to be together, correlated with the boundless expanse of the sea.
As long as the sea is bound to
Duration of being together, associated with the continuous washing of the sea upon the sand.
Wash upon the sand
Metaphorically describing the continuity and steadfastness of their relationship.
How long will I want you
Commitment to wanting the person, aligned with the mutual desire.
As long as you want me to
Expressing a commitment to fulfill the partner's desires, extending the commitment even further.
And longer by far
Commitment to wanting the person for an extended and indefinite period.
How long will I hold you
Pledge to hold the person, echoing advice or wisdom received from a father figure.
As long as your father told you
Commitment to holding onto the person as long as they exist.
As long as you are
Associating the duration of holding with the person's existence.
How long will I give to you
Commitment to giving time, effort, and love to the person.
As long as I live through you
Duration of giving, linked to living through the person.
However long you say
Commitment to honoring the partner's wishes for as long as they express them.
How long will I love you
Reiteration of the commitment to love, returning to the metaphor of stars.
As long as stars are above you
Continuation of the celestial metaphor, expressing a desire to love even longer.
And longer if I may
Expression of a willingness to love for an extended, indefinite period.
