Send "I Will" Ringtone to Cell

Who knows how long I've loved you
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
You know I will
I will.

    Memory:My mother sang this to me as a child every night before I went to bed. It's my fondest memory. This is my favorite song of all time and will always be, just for that reason. I remember sleeping over at my best friend's house and calling her before bed just so she could sing it to me. I couldn't fall asleep otherwise.

    General Comment:I remember being 5 years old and sitting in my dad's truck listening to this.
    For me, this song has so many memories attached to it. It's the only song that ever made me cry.
    "Will I wait a lonely lifetime/If you want me to, I will" means that he will love this person forever, even if she doesn't love him.

    General Comment:My mum used to sing this to me when I was really little. It's funny because I knew the lyrics by heart long before I could speak English.

    General Comment:this always makes me think of simon and garfunkel. i dunno why, but their sound in some songs is almost reminiscent of this. call me crazy.

    very gorgeous though. i agree with everyone else, probably about soulmates.

    General Comment:this is a great song, great chord progression and a nice harmony during the chorus

    it sounds like hes doing the doo doo doos for the bass part but that a bass is also playing along. Sounds like a combo of both.
