You always want to take
pictures but I always hate that because if I were a picture, I’d become old, wouldn't I? You always say “forever” but I always hate that because if our love cools, then even that would be a lie. Don’t you think? I wanna be with you Right here For ever and ever and ever. No one knows what tomorrow will bring so hold me tight. Hold me tight, darling. You always want to shrink away and that always makes me happy Because it’s like Kurt, and that would make me Courtney [1] Don’t you think? I wanna be with you Come by my side More, more, more. Let’s forget about yesterday. So hold me tight. Hold me tight, darling. April has come again; remember that same day Don’t you think? I wanna be with you Right here For ever and ever and ever. No one knows what tomorrow will bring so hold me tight. I wanna be with you Come by my side More, more, more. Let’s forget about yesterday. So hold me tight. Hold me tight, darling. |
Translator's notes: [1] The reference is to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain

Notes: For years I've wondered how the word 'Gibusu' translates to 'Plaster Cast,' and then I discovered that it's actually a Japanization of the word gypsum, a substance used to make plaster. The title probably implies that Ringo wants to be as close as a plaster cast covering the skin of the person she loves.
