I Will
Beatles · The Beatles (The White Album)
You know I love you still,
Will I wait a lonely lifetime,
If you want me to I will.
For if I ever saw you,
I didn't catch your name,
But it never really mattered,
I will always feel the same.
Love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my heart;
Love you whenever we're together,
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you,
Your song will fill the air,
Sing it loud so I can hear you,
Make it easy to be near you,
For the things you do endear you to me,
oh, you know I will.
I will.
