Lyrics
As I look at you
I feel my love is always true
My tender heart still yearns for you
Each day I fall for you anew
Now and forever on
Each day another dawn
Whenever we kiss and embrace
And you look in my eyes
We renew our ever-loving ties
Come and take me by the hand
All was never as we planned
Yet we persist forever true
Just me and you
As one, we have all we require at hand
Now and then forever more
Never quite as before
Now and forever on
Each day will surely bring us a new dawn
As you look at me
Your eyes are full of certainty
I feel your love is true for me
Each day you kiss me tenderly
Now and then forever close
You’ll ever be my rose
Whenever I see you and feel you
My heart opens wide
You belong forever by my side
Come and take me by the hand
All was never as we planned
Yet we persist forever true
Just me and you
As one, we have all we require at hand
Now and forever
Now and forever
Now and forever
Now and forever
