forever's not always a cinch
and i won't do that to you
but what i can give is an inch
the greatest of me, and true

forever's a soap bubble show
hearing it precedes a flinch
i won't promise what i can't know
but i can measure this inch

forever's not part of my oath
my inch, though fragile, is right
for saying this pledge of my troth
i'll love you in ev'ry light
