How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can

How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far

How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you are

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live to you
However long you say

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may

(Instrumental Break)

How long will I love you?
How long will I love you?
How long will I love you?
