Scatting throughout:

Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go
Only forever
If you care to know

Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task
Only forever
If someone should ask

How long would it take me
To be near if you beckon
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second

Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile
Only forever
That's putting it mild

We're gonna sing for you
Refrain on the two
Direct from Crosby
We give it to you
So if you feel like joining in
Come on you folks just whistle or sing

Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go
Only forever
If you care to know

Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the time
Only forever
If someone should ask

How long would it take me
To be near if you beckon
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second

Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile
Only forever
That's putting it mild

Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile
Only forever
That's putting it mild
