This is my absolute favorite song right now. I can’t get it out of my head. Jon Boden, Sam Sweeney and Ben Coleman cover it on the About Time soundtrack and I heard it for the first time when I watched the movie. Since then I can’t stop listening to it, singing it, playing it on the piano. Here are the lyrics and a couple different versions of it, including the original by The Waterboys and one by Ellie Goulding.
How long will I love you?
As long as there are stars above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you are
How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I may
Jon Boden, Sam Sweeney and Ben Coleman
