As Long as I Love
Love's Endurance: Embracing Pain and Forgiveness in Dolly Parton's Melody
Lyrics
Hurt is no stranger to me
Hurt is a familiar experience for me.
And oh how well I know misery
I am well-acquainted with misery.
You've always hurt me
You consistently cause me pain.
But I always forgive
Despite the hurt, I always choose to forgive you.
And I'll hurt for as long as I love you
I will endure pain as long as I continue to love you.
And I'll love you for as long as I live
My love for you will persist for the entirety of my life.
Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply
I acknowledge that it's my own fault for loving you deeply.
I'd give you my love completely
I am willing to give you my love entirely.
I'd give you love but hurt is all you give
Despite my willingness to give love, you only give hurt.
And I hurt for as long as I love you
Enduring pain is part of my commitment to loving you.
And I'll love you for as long as I live
My love for you will persist throughout my entire life.
For as long as I love you, there'll be pain
Loving you comes with the inevitability of pain.
Though tears come and go
Although tears may come and go, my love remains constant.
My love remains the same
My love is unwavering despite the presence of pain.
I'll always forgive you
I am always willing to forgive you.
You know that I will
It is known that I will forgive you.
And I hurt for as long as I love you
Enduring pain is an inherent part of my love for you.
And I'll love you for as long as I live
My commitment to loving you will endure for the duration of my life.
Yes I've hurt for as long as I loved you
I have experienced pain for as long as I have loved you.
And I'll love you for as long as I live
My love for you will continue for the duration of my life.
