As the Years Go By Lyrics

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
I love you and as the years go by
True love will never die
At seventeen 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
I love you as the years go by
True love will never die
I-I-I will love you forever
I-I-I will love you forever
(Instrumental)

At sixtyfive 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 till 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-I-I love you forever
I-I-I love you forever
