"The mother sings to her sleeping baby: "I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / My baby you'll be." She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old, and then a raucous teen. So far so ordinary--but this is one persistent lady. When her son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son's window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraw's comic and yet poignant pastels"

Answer 5

"LOVE YOU FOREVER"

I think it's the book your talking about. It is also the same book that Joey read to Emma for her first birthday, on FRIENDS.

It goes.."I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always...As long as I'm living, My baby you'll be".

It's written by: Robert Munsch

Illustrated by: Shiela McGraw

Answer 7

I have it tattooed on my ribcage in really small print. "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my Mommy you'll be."

My mom and I love that book....my copy is all colored on and bent up....probably the best kids book of all time. Except for maybe the Giving Tree...
