Love You Forever is a 1986 children's picture book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Sheila McGraw.

Despite her occasional aggravation caused by her son's behavior at 2 years old, 9 years old, and as a teenager, the mother nonetheless visits his bedroom nightly to cradle him in her arms, and sing a brief lullaby promising to always love him: I'll love you forever I'll like you for always As long as I'm living My baby you'll be After her son enters adulthood and moves across town, his elderly mother occasionally sneaks into his bedroom at night to croon her customary lullaby.

The son then cradles his mother in his arms and sings the lullaby for her in reciprocation for the unconditional love that she had shown him throughout his life, changing the last line to "my mommy you'll be."

Joey later realizes that he has forgotten to prepare for an upcoming audition and decides to recite the book as a dramatic monologue.

Playwright Topher Payne wrote an alternative ending to the story, in which the mother is forced to recognize the son's need for personal space, and they instead agree to share their time doing things together.
