From the recording Wedding Songs
Lyrics
For All Time
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
We were standing in the moon light
Soft stars began to shine.
You slipped your hand inside my coat
Your heartbeat close to mine.
You looked up with a question
Shining gentle in your eyes—
“If I give you all my heart…
How long will you be by my side?”
I answered slowly, so you would understand...
(Chorus)
For all time…
I will love you,
Every day of my life.
and for all time…
Through the changes, through the seasons,
Through the dark and through the light.
If you’re asking me how long
I’ll want you to be mine—
My answer, love, is simple…
For all time.
(Verse 2)
I reached into my pocket,
Hands trembling with the ring,
I said, “You’re my every heartbeat,
You’re my soul’s most honest thing.”
You whispered, “How long will you love me
When the years begin to climb?”
I smiled and pulled you closer—
“Longer than the stars can shine.”
then you looked up at me and smiled, and then you softly said…
(Chorus)
“For all time…
I will love you,
Every day, of my life
and for all time…
Through the changes, through the seasons,
Through the dark and through the light.
If you want to know how long will I love you
My answer, love, is simple…
For all time.”
(Bridge)
And when you said yes,
The whole world melted away.
our two hearts made a promise
That forever starts today.
(Final Chorus)
For all time…
I will love you, darling
Every day of this life of mine
and for all time…
Every sunrise, every heartbeat,
Every breath I take
until the end of time
So when you ask me how long
I’ll be standing by your side—
Just remember this my love
For all time.
I promise to love you.... For all time.
