Until the End Of Time




I will love you, my dear, sweet man
until the mountains of the world
turn to sand and the rivers
are all frozen over


Until the sun forgets to rise and
the hall clock no longer chimes
you will have my heart to
hold you for all time


When we grow old and bones are weary
the same beauty will shine from
your tender smile when you
look into my eyes


I will love you, my dear. Always...

Prompt -
As Long as your Eyes are Blue



Wilt thou love me, sweet, when my hair is grey
And my cheeks shall have lost their hue?
When the charms of youth shall have passed away,
Will your love as of old prove true?

For the looks may change, and the heart may range,
And the love be no longer fond;
Wilt thou love with truth in the years of youth
And away to the years beyond?

Oh, I love you, sweet, for your locks of brown
And the blush on your cheek that lies —
But I love you most for the kindly heart
That I see in your sweet blue eyes.

For the eyes are signs of the soul within,
Of the heart that is real and true,
And mine own sweetheart, I shall love you still,
Just as long as your eyes are blue.

For the locks may bleach, and the cheeks of peach
May be reft of their golden hue;
But mine own sweetheart, I shall love you still,
Just as long as your eyes are blue.

by A B Banjo Paterson1864-1941, written in 1892
