[English]
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolvingAnd the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's a cure
You can rest your mind assured
That I'll be lovin' you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be lovin' you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more (Always)
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
To last through forever
Another day
As today I know I'm living for tomorrow
Couldn't make me be the past but that I mustn't fear ('Cause you're here)
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
And I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky (Loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Been loving you)
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea (Loving you)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Always)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (I'll be loving you forever)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four (Always)
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
(True love don't want a thing)
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
To last forever
(Another day)
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
And I'll be lovin' you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky (Loving you)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea (Loving you)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
(Now ain't that loving you?)
Until the day is night and night becomes the day (Now ain't that loving you?)
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away (I'll be loving you forever)
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
Always
Always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the dolphins fly and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that it's the day that I'm no more
