Baby I'm yours (baby I'm yours) And I'll be yours until the stars fall from the sky Yours until the rivers all run dry In other words, until I die Baby I'm yours (baby I'm yours) And I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines Yours until the poets run out of rhyme In other words, until the end of time I'm gonna stay right here by your side Do my best to keep you satisfied Nothing in the world can drive me away 'Cause every day you'll hear me say Baby I'm yours And I'll be yours until two and two is three Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea In other words, until eternity Baby I'm yours Till the stars fall from the sky Baby I'm yours Till the rivers all run dry Baby I'm yours Till the poets run out of rhyme
