By every probability, if everything works out for you and me
Well I'll be there and you'll be here
And if I'm aware, I'll miss you dear - maybe, we'll see
And after so much time together
How will you find another tether to tie yourself to
I hope you find a worthy substitute
Someone new to plant some roots
To sustain you through the years when I'm no longer here
I don't want you to forget me
But you'll have to look past me
You won't want to forget me
But forget me, forget me
Our trip is just beginning
But I've got the kind of mind that's spinning so far ahead
And forever seems so long to you
So I'll try to write a song for you that will have no end
All You'll always be so beautiful
So I'll try my best to be dutiful and slow the hands of time
And save you many dances and many more romances
And pray to age like wine
I don't want you to forget me
But you'll have to look past me
You won't want to forget me
But forget me
But forget me, forget me
You shake and shimmer in the sun
I'm feeling fine, your spring has sprung
Put out of mind the gap in ages, fill the diaries; flip the pages
By every probability, by every probability
By every probability, I know what each year means for me
And I'll to make them last
And live each moment here and now
Not focus on the when and how - they'll slip into the past
You deserve the present I can give
The words by which we both can live steeped in joy
I'll do everything so you won't regret
Trust me 'cause you've placed your bet and made your choice
I don't want you to forget me
But you'll have to look past me
You won't want to forget me
But forget me
A stark black night, star-studded skies
Morning breaks and you arise
Your orange dress, your jasmine tea
Another passing day with me
By every probability, by every probability
