Forever yours,

Forever young,

Forever yours, forever young.

Days fly by — mountains, tides;

Nights, white light, acorns, kites.

You paint me in light softly spun —

Forever moon, forever sun.

Forever young,

Forever yours,

Forever, forever young,

Forever yours, forever young.

I bloom in spring you recall,

A breath soft in summer’s fall.

Leaves, seasons, autumn, atoll —

I rest where the snow lies awol.

Oh — listen now to me:

Time will bend, yet youth remains;

In your arms, I’ll stay the same.

Forever yours, forever young.

So let me sing to you:

Forever yours,

Forever young,

Forever, forever yours,

Forever yours, forever young…

Echoes, bubbles, and streams,

In lullabies, watercolored dreams —

I am there between each hue,

Each brushstroke, each line —

Forever here, forever mine.

Paint me into all your skies,

Ink me where the silence lies.

I’ll outlast the hush of dawn —

Forever dance, forever song.

Forever yours, forever young.

You go on, I remain —

A thread, joy and pain.

You carry on, I stay —

A silhouette, a flash and a frame.

On your canvas, I will stay the same,

Signed in soot, kissed by blame.

Forever yours, forever young.

Oh — let me sing to you:

Forever yours,

Forever young,

Forever, forever young,

Forever yours, forever young…

…and my name is Livia.
