For Now, For Always

"For Now, For Always" was a sentimental ballad from the 1961 Disney film, The Parent Trap. It was sung by Maureen O'Hara and was written by the songwriting brother team of the Robert and Richard Sherman.

According to the Sherman Brothers, the song was meant to be in the style of a 1946 love ballad, perhaps written as World War II was ending or had just ended so that it could be the song that the twins' parents would have fallen in love to.

Lyrics[]

For now, For always
Our love will stay
As warm as summer
For come what may
The magic divine
That first made you mine
Will now for always be new
Though time may tatter our first sweet thrill
It doesn't matter it never will
For my love was meant for
Was heaven sent
For now
For always
For you
For now
For always
Our love will stay
As warm as summer
For come what may
The magic divine
That first made you mine
Will now for always be new
Though time may tatter our first sweet thrill
It doesn't matter it never will
For my love was meant for
Was heaven sent
For now
For always
For you
or you
