Only Forever
Eternal Promises in Nat King Cole's Melody
Lyrics
Do I want to be with you
Expressing contemplation about the desire to be with someone.
As the years come and go?
Pondering the possibility of a lasting connection as time passes.
Only forever
Emphasizing a commitment to love and companionship indefinitely.
If you care to know.
Posing a question about the listener's interest in understanding this commitment.
Would I grant all your wishes
Consideration of fulfilling the partner's desires willingly.
And be proud of the task
Expressing pride in fulfilling responsibilities over a lifetime.
Only forever
Reiterating the commitment to everlasting love.
If someone should ask.
Addressing the possibility of others questioning this commitment.
How long would it take me
Wondering about the time it takes to respond to the partner's call.
To be near if you beckon?
Committing to being close promptly when beckoned.
Off hand I would figure
Suggesting an immediate response, possibly indicating strong dedication.
Less than a second.
Quantifying the rapidity of the response as less than a second.
Do you think I'll remember
Reflecting on the possibility of remembering moments shared together.
How you looked when you smile?
Specifically, remembering the partner's smiling expression.
Only forever
Reaffirming the commitment to love lasting forever.
That's puttin' it mild.
Understating the depth of eternal love with a modest expression.
How long would it take me
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the immediacy of response.
To be near if you beckon?
Restating the commitment to be close promptly upon beckoning.
Off hand I would figure
Reiterating the swiftness of the response, reinforcing dedication.
Less than a second.
Duplicating the idea of an immediate response, highlighting commitment.
Do you think I'll remember
Pondering the lasting memory of the partner's joyful expression.
How you looked when you smile?
Reaffirming the commitment to remember the partner's smiling face forever.
Only forever
Repeating the eternal nature of the commitment with a modest tone.
That's puttin' it mild.
Emphasizing the everlasting love in a humble manner.
