I Will
Eternal Love: Diana Ross' Timeless Promise in 'I Will'
Lyrics
Who knows how long I've loved you
Uncertainty about the duration of love towards the person
You know I love you still
Confirmation of continuous love for the person
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
Willingness to endure a long wait if necessary
If you want me to, I will
Expressing readiness to wait for the person
For if I ever saw you
Reflecting on a past encounter without knowing the person
I didn't catch your name
Not having caught the person's name during a previous meeting
But it never really mattered
Belief that not knowing the name didn't diminish feelings
I will always feel the same
Commitment to consistent feelings despite unknown identity
Love you forever and forever
Promise of eternal love
Love you with all my heart
Expressing deep affection
Love you whenever we're together
Expressing love during moments spent together
Love you when we're apart
Affirmation of love even during separation
And when at last I find you
Anticipation of finding the person eventually
Your song will fill the air
Belief that the person's presence will bring joy and music
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Desire for the person to express themselves openly
And you know I will
Assurance of listening and acknowledging the person's expression
Love you forever and forever
Reiteration of eternal love
Love you with all my heart
Reaffirmation of deep affection
Love you whenever we're together
Expression of love during togetherness
Love you when we're apart
Confirmation of love even during absence
And when at last I find you
Repetition of anticipation to find the person
Your song will fill the air
Belief in the person's influence on the surroundings
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Desire for the person to express themselves openly (repeated)
Make it easy to be near you
Wish for proximity and ease in being with the person
For the things you do endear you to me
Appreciation for the person's qualities and actions
All you know I will, I will
Commitment to all aforementioned sentiments
