You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
never have I loved this way!
I know that when you kiss me years from now
you'll kiss me as you did today!

You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
no one else would ever do!
And if you're asking me, what sweethearts ought to be
I'd say they ought to be like you!

< instrumental break >

You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
never have I loved this way!
I know that when you kiss me years from now
you'll kiss me as you did today!

You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
no one else would ever do!
And if you're asking me, what sweethearts ought to be
I'd say they ought to be like you!
