0:00:06 > 0:00:09Hello. Thanks for joining me tonight.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13My name's Celia. I'm holding my Ted tight.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17When you say goodnight, do you say, "I love you?"
0:00:17 > 0:00:19To my favourite teddy I always do.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23This evening's story is all about love.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Let's get reading whilst the stars shine above.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's called I'll Love You Always
0:00:30 > 0:00:35and it's written by Mark Sperring and illustrated by Alison Brown.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40How long will I love you?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42A second is too short.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46A second is no time for a love of this sort.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50A minute is no better for minutes fly by.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54They're gone in a moment like a sweet butterfly.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59An hour's still nothing. It whirls by so fast.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03I'll love you much longer than hours can last.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09A morning is so brief, an afternoon too.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13From sunrise to sunset, I'll keep loving you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Will I love you when night falls?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Of course, and beyond.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Will I love you tomorrow?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Oh, yes, on and on.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28I'll love you for whole days stretched out in a line.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I'll love you for weeks and much longer time.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37I'll love you for months, heaped up to the sky.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I'll love you through seasons as they bluster by.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44I'll love you for whole years and, though things might change,
0:01:44 > 0:01:49as you grow bigger, my love stays the same.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52How long will I love you?
0:01:52 > 0:01:57If you need to know, I'll tuck you in tightly, then whisper it low.
0:01:58 > 0:02:04I'll love you for years and for months, weeks and days.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'll love you for hours and minutes always.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I'll love you forever, not one second less,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17for that is what mummies and daddies do best.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Ah, that story's left me feeling all warm and snug
0:02:21 > 0:02:25and Teddy's been giving me the most marvellous hug.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Teddy just whispered, "I love you."
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Teddy, I love you always too.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Now, before you drift off to sleep, hold your loved ones tight
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and dream sweet dreams all through the night.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Night-night, everyone.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Night, Ted.
