Verse:

Ev'rything went wrong, and the whole day long,

I'd feel so blue,

For the longest while, I'd forget to smile,

Then I met you,

Now that my blue days have passed,

Now that I've found you at last.

 

Chorus:

I'll be loving you, Always,

With a love that's true, Always,

When the things you've planned Need a helping hand,

I will understand, Always, Always.

Days may not be fair, Always,

That's when I'll be there, Always.

Not for just an hour, Not for just a day,

Not for just a year, But Always.
