lyrics
Now and forever, I'll live for you
My love and devotion are yours, yours alone
Kiss me beloved, say you're my own
I kiss your lips so sweet and tender
They open heaven's door
Won't you surrender, forevermore
My love will grow deeper as time passes by
Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky
My love, my devotion are yours till I die
Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky
My love my devotion are yours till I die
Matt Monro was one of Britain’s most iconic singers. He recorded the very first
James Bond Theme song –‘From Russia With Love’ – represented Britain in the
Eurovision Song contest in 1964 with ‘I Love the Little Things’ (in Copenhagen)
– finishing second - and had many international hits which included ‘Born
Free’, ‘Walk Away’, and ‘Portrait of My Love’. Matt died on 7 February 1985
aged 54 and only 5 days after receiving a telegram from Frank Sinatra which
said: “Sorry to hear that you've taken ill and hope you'll soon be on the mend
and up and about. I send you love and prayers. Your fellow boy singer, Frank
Sinatra" Frank Sinatra said of Matt: "His pitch was right on the
nose: his word enunciation letter perfect: his understanding of a song
thorough. “He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but by his fans all
over the world." Read Matt Monro’s Biography: The Singer’s Singer The Life
